Surprise!

Funny Story.

After a short night at home Friday evening "Auntie" Jen and Jeff went on several errands to get flowers, a pink balloon (its a girl!), and donuts for the mother Saturday morning before returning to the hospital. After stepping on the elevator and pressing "6", Jen and Jeff quickly exited the elevator, signed in at the nurses station, and made a B-line to Jody's room for a big surprise! Just as we were about to burst into the room Jeff noticed that the room number began with a 5 and not a 6. Upon closer inspection all the rooms began with a 5 and not a 6. Strange... Jen checked the chart next to the door that was suppose to be Jody's room... it did not say Jody.

It all sank in like a ton in a nanosecond, Jeff and Jen had exited the elevator on the wrong floor and almost surprised the wrong mother! The error had gone unnoticed because the post delivery part of the hospital which is on floors 5 and 6 are identical in layout, style, color, etc. After much discussion and reflection on how they had arrived on the wrong floor, Jeff and Jen realized that the elevator had stopped to let someone on and they had quickly exited without realizing they were on the 5th and NOT the 6th floor.

After arriving at the correct room Jody was happy to have the flowers, balloon, and donuts. Jeff and Jen were happy to have narrowly escaped a catastrophe of immense proportions.
