Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
Day 11
Dear Berkley,
Today we are PRAISING God! You have NO brain bleeds. Not one! They prepared us for the worst, we expected something, but God showed us if we ask of him he will answer. This is the BEST news! You had a good day. Feedings have moved up to 7mL, chest x-ray did not show anything abnormal, labs were good, and you are looking good.
Day 12
Today was an extra special day. Not only did I get kangaroo time for 3 hours, but Dad sent me flowers at the hospital for our Anniversary. We've been married 4 years today. Seeing your name on the card was the sweetest. Holding you for so long put me on Cloud 9. I talked to you a lot today during our time about everyone that is praying for you. You have a huge fan club already. We talked dad a lot too. He really is the best thing that ever happened to me.
You got your first taste of a pacifier today from Ms. Beth. You may love her now! You are up to 1lb 15oz in weight. Feedings are doing good, but we still have that heart murmur lingering. We are seeing it affect your lungs more. Praying really hard for God to close it up. These are obstacles, but overall you are doing great for a 24 weeker. Your face is changing everyday. You look more and more like your Daddy. Maybe you'll have my eyes. ☺ See you bright and early buddy.
Day 13
Well, you made today interesting. Just after I left this afternoon to go get food, you pulled your breathing tube out!! Yes, you at 14 days old. Mrs. Amanda was your nurse today and she got you all settled back in. You are tired from all the excitement, but resting well now. We gave you a pep talk and now your hands are in time-out under your swaddle. You are becoming more alert and I know you know our voices. Dr. Israel came back to check on you. Of course we know the heart murmur is still there, medicine will continue, but may have to look at surgery soon. This really scares us, but God is the great physician. I've been praying all day.
Sleep sweet. Grow big. Be brave. I love you.
