Andre's son was asleep in his crib, his wife asleep in a chair when he got to the room.

Instead of waking up his wife, he grabbed a pillow and curled up under his son's crib.

Amy found him asleep when she woke up and quickly snapped a picture, posting it to Facebook.

Andre and Amy's son has since been discharged and is now home.
