Hi Amy,

I posted to you in another thread, but thought I should just start a new one. I wanted to congratulate you on the birth of your little boy. How much does he weigh now? Are you able to get a picture of him? Would love to see him.

Love,
Liz

Hey Liz,

Thanks for the send out. Jack is over 2 weeks old now. Hes got a lot of spunk thats for sure. So far everything the doctors have been concerned about hes passed with flying colors. Infection is the primary concern right now, and so far so good. Of course, he hasn't been out of his warmer either, but we gotta do what we have to do there. His list of potential problems is endless, it overwhelms me if I think about it to much. It may sound naive Liz, or maybe its just my coping mechanism, but I have to go one day at a time with everything. And today Jack is at best case scenerio, with everything factored in.

I'm hoping to hold him this Thursday. Thanks again Liz, you're a good person.

Hey Amy,

You don't have anything to worry about when it comes to Jack. God is watching over him. God brought him this far and he's going to carry this kid through the rest of the years. I hope you will be able to hold him on Thanksgiving. That would be the greatest Thanksgiving ever. If you get to hold him let me know, ok? If you can get a picture of him I would love to see him. I love babies. Again, I'm so happy for you.

Love,
Liz

Thanks Liz,
I really DO believe that he will be OK. I have not taken a picture yet, not really sure why, maybe its because the still shot will be in my head forever. Hes not very photogenic at present. Maybe I should take a picture.

Why not take a picture? Would be a great reminder in the future of how small he was, ya know? I'm so amazed how the doctors are able to save these little babies now. They sure came a long ways. When I was 17 I miscarried twins in my 6th month. They weren't able to save them. Just shows how far they come now, ya know?

Liz,

I'm so sorry about that loss. That must have been rough that far along.

They have come far, Jack would have never made it without the help of NICU. You should see it there, the only way to explain it is its like I'm on a spaceship, everything is so high tech.

Well, I"m off to the hospital. Thanks again Liz, it does help to talk sometimes.

But first, I have to find my camera.
