Seeing the picture of Cohen and rea...Dear Christin,<br />Seeing the picture of Cohen and reading your posts bring back such a flood of emotions and memories for me. A little over 21 years ago we were right where you are today with Olivia. Not sure if you know her story or not and I won't bore you with the details, but she is a premmie, too. She was 8 weeks early and had a heart defect. She underwent 2 surgeries over a 1 year period and numerous other procedures. She is living proof of the awesome grace and power of God. I understand all the emotions, I went through them, too. Cling to your faith, and continue to journal about everything. NOTHING is trivial or small when it comes to your child. The first time I held/fed Olivia she was over 2 months old and I cried like a baby. I kept a journal of my feelings, her accomplishments, set backs, etc. and now I can look back and see how far we have come. My prayer for you all is comfort in our Lord and that little Cohen will be home soon. It is a very emotional and exausting time. If there is ANYTHING any of you need, please let us know. The hardest thing for me was like you said in your blog.... leaving them at the hospital. But remember you must take care of yourself and get rest, too so you can be healed and ready when he comes home. Our prayers are with you.<br />With love Melissa GriffyMelissa Griffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03340062856007448670noreply@blogger.com
