Everyone asks us how we're dealing with "this", how we're coping, how we're managing life in the NICU. Don't get me wrong, it's hard. We cry. We aren't home much. We wish we were home lots and with our boy but we aren't.
That said, we truly are grateful for right now. We are surrounded by all of you who read this blog and follow our story. And you love on us, pray for us, email us, text us, visit us, give us gifts, make us food.
And, we have a beautiful baby boy whom we love more than we ever thought possible. And every single day there is something else to be grateful for. He is a centimeter longer today than he was when he was born. His feedings continue to increase because he is tolerating them. The meningitis scare we had is no more. The heart murmur the doctors detected a few days ago was nearly impossible to hear yesterday. Wyatt is receiving less oxygen support today than he did yesterday. Tomorrow, he'll be TWO WEEKS old! Today, I got to hold him. Again!
Call me Susie Sunshine, Pollyanna, or Glass Half Full. This is life and we have to make the best of it. I am so grateful for right now.
