I just found your blog. Arianna is so adorable!!!
Great (no commenting) post. I'll comment here though: you are so damned right in asserting that us parents of micropreemies are more than aware on a daily basis of how hard it is to parent our kids and what the stats are. And you are so damned right that that changes nothing. Every morning, when Hallie wakes up, realizes she's lying next to us, and smiles that huge grin and waves, I realize how worthwhile this is. Our statistics are awful in the aggregate, but our experiences are wonderful in the particular. Sure it's hard---Sharon is upstairs feeding Hallie a bottle, which is an excruciatingly slow process most of the time and one that causes us to hold our breath in the hopes that she doesn't choke and vomit. It's 1:30am and we have not gotten to sleep before this in over a year and a half. Yet Hallie brings the greatest amount of joy to our lives and we are thrilled with her every day. She is not a statistic or a gestational age or a miracle. She is a little girl and we are her mommies. No toxic posts or embittered parents will convince me otherwise, regardless of whether Hallie ends up with disabilities down the road.
awesome no commenting post....i'm joining abby here.now i totally get your comment on my post todsy, well except the photoshop part. email me that because i am curious.
i will confess i struggle big time with the comfort care and allowing "natural death" at some deliveries. i guess because it reminds me that it could have been my son and i would have a big space in my heart where he fits perfectly. i don't ever dare to second guess a family's choices i just struggle with my own values, beliefs and avocation.
like you and so many other preemie moms, i am so blessed to live each day with a miracle growing and thriving.
i hope more and more find your blog and keep coming back because you have a lot of good things to say.
hugs
