Today is World Prematurity Day.
I am thankful for our little preemie - Jessica Taylor Fortenberry.
I am thankful for our 4 lb.1oz little cutie that spent 2 1/2 weeks in the NICU. She spent quite a few days -more than I can count and more than I care to remember with her weight sitting at 3 lb. 12 oz. She just refused to gain weight. She had to spend time learning how to take a bottle. She had to learn how to keep her body temperature up and she had to go through a course of antibiotics before she could go home. Thankfully, she was only on oxygen for just a short time. (Maybe just a few hours - I don't really know, because I was pretty much out of it when they explained the oxygen part to me.) I am thankful for our journey. It gave us just a small glimpse at what many parents go through. We are very blessed!
