I'm glad that, against all odds, your daughter fought through the obstacles in front of her and that you can take joy in her first steps(and all of the firsts to come).

My youngest son also spent time in the NICU - for different reasons (he was born a blue baby. no oxygen). I know a little bit how you felt. <br />I'm so glad she's progressing and you have the joy of those first steps. Now if you'll excuse me, Im gonna run over and give my son a great big hug! <br />Stealing Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818879297909675392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504646615318477533.post-25532828941197206192014-10-24T13:57:24.378-04:002014-10-24T13:57:24.378-04:00Thanks man!
