Not because I fear the eventual outcome, but because your story is so emotionally wrenching. <BR/><BR/>None of my children were ever premie, but my DH took me into the NICU when I was pregnant with my 3rd. I remember seeing a 20 weeker there who was just so amazingly tiny and vulnerable. As well as a couple babies who were in drug withdrawal. And no mommies or daddies in sight. (This was at a big inner city hospital in Newark, NJ.) I had to leave so I could weep in private. It just broke my heart. Your babies were (are) so lucky to have parents who so diligently cared for them during that vulnerable time in their lives! <BR/><BR/>I will be back to hear more, I'll just make sure there is a box of kleenex by my pc!Nettiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07944075197437870258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-1165948461529963532006-12-12T12:34:00.000-06:002006-12-12T12:34:00.000-06:00oh Jen, I know he's better now, but I'm still cryi...oh Jen, I know he's better now, but I'm still crying. My favorite part is when you say that you felt that God wasn't there and then all of a sudden you were flooded by his angels. This post enlivens your soul and belief in humanity, it awakens you to our vulnerability, and reminds you the strength of parents and the amazing role that they play. You are such a gifted writer Jen you really are. As always, I'll be at the edge of my seat for part 8.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-1165941612146888892006-12-12T10:40:00.000-06:002006-12-12T10:40:00.000-06:00Jenna-YOU NEED TO WRITE A BOOK!Love, LorieJenna-<BR/>YOU NEED TO WRITE A BOOK!<BR/>Love, LorieGeologychickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05326271846932273163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-1165940664738200572006-12-12T10:24:00.000-06:002006-12-12T10:24:00.000-06:00I can only imagine what you were going through.
