The best day in a
parent’s life turns into the worst.For expectant parents, the origins of a
new life are usually accompanied by excitement, anticipation and just a touch
of anxiety about the future. There are classes to attend, prams to buy, and of
course, the baby's room has to be painted.
This description fits Gary and Melinda quite nicely - except
Gary hasn't painted the baby's room yet. He finally gets around to starting the
job, but Melinda's water breaks before he finishes the first coat.
From there, the situation rapidly deteriorates. Their baby,
Justin, is born via caesarean. Shortly after the birth Justin experiences
breathing difficulties and is transferred to intensive care a few hours later.
The story follows Gary over a tumultuous few days as Justin
undergoes emergency treatment. Gary and Melinda quickly discover that when a
baby's life is on the line, it doesn't really matter whether or not you have a
painted room.
