She is beautiful and so lucky to have the two of you for parents. I sent you folks something the other day, too...I hope it gets to the hospital all right...<br /><br />I had to comment on this post because I know EXACTLY how you feel in this situation. I lost my dad just about a year ago (March 31) to pulmonary fibrosis and we spent a period of time monitoring his O2 levels and all that stuff too. Hospital monitors and the whole deal. Our son, 4, was diagnosed with asthma this fall and we had a scary weekend over Halloween where we ended up in the ER with him hooked up to the same monitors with the same stats beeping across the screen and all that stuff. It was all I could do to focus on getting him better. My son's doctors have been very patient with me, as I have explained my neuroses around these breathing issues, and have assured me that asthma and the fibrosis are totally different animals, but that fear still lives. <br /><br />So, you are not alone. While I didn't have the NICU experience that you are going through, you and I have walked similar paths in a number of ways (I teach, too-big kids, but I love them). Please feel free to read my blog (I've been a bit negligent since we lost Dad, but, the story is there) and contact me if there is anything that I can do for you. I know that we have never met, but I think about you and your little family often and wish you all peace and strength through this journey.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16023753662641000103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829981898288864580.post-19842998003722800652012-02-25T22:28:24.176-05:002012-02-25T22:28:24.176-05:00Beautiful post, Jessica!
