On this day, a very strange wave always rolls over me. I am flooded with some very crisp memories and feelings from our 90 days in the NICU. Some memories and feelings are more like ghosts of feeling that I had at one point but can barely remember. Sometimes I wonder if I even remember it the way it all actually happened. Memory is funny that way.
Today, I send all my love to those who know NICU life. Have faith in the them and never underestimate them. Let them blow your mind.
Nyah Everleigh – Born @ 26 weeks 3 days – 1 lb 14 oz. Now she’s almost 6 and thriving! She started grade one this September and is flourishing even faster than I ever imagined!
Simon, Kaius and I could not be more proud!
Each year we get a picture of her with her blue dragon. At birth, it was the same size, she was!
Sometimes it feels like just yesterday and other times, it feels almost as though it never happened at all.
To everyone walking those halls today, sharing your deepest thoughts and fears in the pump room, wondering how you will get through it and feeling like you’ll never make it out; I see you. I am here if you need to talk.
