Our far, far away family descended to meet baby Amelia. Unfortunately for Wendy (and Geoff) she had to be re-admitted to the hospital due to an infection. She had a bright red inflammation underneath her oemphalocele, and it took a 10-day course to knock it out. Once she was home though, it was all magic!<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>My dad being in town was nice except he smokes too much. It caused a lot of problems in that Micky kept getting upset, and I think he realized it and got upset as well. We also put him up in a bed &amp; breakfast in the Castro district of San Francisco which I think he enjoyed (even though he got relocated to the &#8220;garden suite&#8221;).
