Rainbows comes out to see her every two weeks, but nothing they can tell me about her development keeps me from worrying about cerebral palsy or autism. It drives me nuts.<BR/><BR/>I just pray for sanity and calm. Some days I can maintain it better than others.<BR/><BR/>One of my friends emailed me some information about a support group they are starting at Wesley for parents who have children in the NICU. They are looking for parents who have survived the NICU to give advice. I'm thinking about signing up.<BR/><BR/>Somehow I think helping another couple through what we (Stephen and I) went through might be good therapy. I'm not sure though...but its worth a shot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2952491439420549812.post-63196531595054377512008-05-01T21:16:00.000-05:002008-05-01T21:16:00.000-05:00I'm sorry to hear about Olivia's eyes. Hopefully ...I'm sorry to hear about Olivia's eyes. Hopefully you can find out some more answers when you go to the eye doctor. Don't worry about Olivia not getting 30 ounces a day. I have a full term baby that only takes 24. You cannot force them to eat. She is doing awesome. You cannot get much better than being a miracle!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07942859133555762663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2952491439420549812.post-29416670401698703532008-05-01T20:49:00.000-05:002008-05-01T20:49:00.000-05:00Sorry to hear about the bad day!!

And it's amazing how many things work themselves out. We were told there would be many problems and delays and there have been some delays, but there have also been great surprises of catching up sooner than anyone thought. I know there were days (and still are) where I wish my son didn't have a handful of therapists evaluating his every move, but in the long run it's all so worth it! Hope tomorrow is better!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2952491439420549812.post-17966064562036476202008-05-01T20:27:00.000-05:002008-05-01T20:27:00.000-05:00Wow. I'm so sorry this was a day of worry. I wis...Wow. I'm so sorry this was a day of worry. I wish I could take the worry away. I can't, but I do know Someone who has all power. Just know that He loves you very much and will not give you more than you can handle. (Obviously, He thinks you are pretty great at handling things!) I can only imagine the things that you know to worry about. We will be praying for Olivia that her eyes will fix themselves without needing surgery. As far as parenting, I just talked to my brother Steve and was telling him all about what great parents you and Ryan are. I was so impressed the other day when Ryan dropped by at his conversation about parenting. Here is one fellow parent that thinks you guys are doing a great job! We love you all.<BR/>LauraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2952491439420549812.post-24859498082025925482008-05-01T18:06:00.000-05:002008-05-01T18:06:00.000-05:00You're doing better than fine. I often wonder why ...You're doing better than fine. I often wonder why Emery can't take in more than 2 ounces without vomiting, but we get by. And, as far as the future is concerned, you will be prepared for some things and utterly unprepared for others. You're doing better than the best you can and Olivia is doing the best she can, which is all anyone can ask. <BR/><BR/>Big hugs!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09786711719995952934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2952491439420549812.post-62766671823378422842008-05-01T17:38:00.000-05:002008-05-01T17:38:00.000-05:00I'm sorry today has sucked.

And you are doing everything you should be to be able to deal with any problems that you may encounter. I know she will be just fine.<BR/><BR/>KerryKerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04914816917171098597noreply@blogger.com
