Due to unparalleled awesomeness, My Oldest Girl is being released from the hospital in about an hour. The original estimate was  Tuesday, maybe Monday if things went well. Instead, here we are Friday afternoon — at 72 hours after open heart surgery — and her doctor says, “I don’t see any reason for you to be here at this point.” Actual quote. What a relief.

As a proud geeky Dad, I am now going to start calling her “Wolverine.” Or maybe Deadpool.
