Just a quick update. V and baby are home and doing great. It is astonishing how little information is given to new parents. Like... none... V's neighbour in the hospital thought I was a nurse because of all the things I was telling them; things that any nurse in Canada would tell you while you are in the hospital with a newborn. It's actually rather frightening...

We let things with the guard situation settle down a bit and this past Saturday Y started working for us again. He passed on the final pay to his sister (wife of the guy causing the problems) as it was their son who did guard for the past month. Y is happy as a clam to be back and we're very glad to have him back. Hopefully there are no more problems with the brother-in-law...
