A special delivery

I got another opportunity to hand deliver a blankie yesterday. Julie, my right hand blankie women, told me she knew of a baby in the NICU. This sweet baby has spina bifida, ompholacele, and short gut. So we headed up there with a blankie in hand. He looks beautiful, as you can see. Was just extubated that morning so we got to see his little face. This is his mommy holding him for the first time with no vent tube. I love to be able to hand deliver blankies, I wish I could do that with all of them, so I could meet all of these warriors.

I took a walk down memory lane while working on this appeal for daddy's school. They said he didn't make sufficient progress in fall 2005, spring 2006. Well I can tell you why. Jax was born November 2005, and spent half of 2006 in the hospital. So we had to appeal this to get financial aid. So we had to write a letter and put paperwork to back it up. So I was going through medical records I have for Jax. I would like to get all his records, but now you have to pay for them and with his records just for his one long 4 month stay would be hundreds of dollars. I only have the week of his brain injury that my lawyer got. And just that one week is in a 4 inch binder. I also have his birth and NICU records. But reading through those brings a lot of memories back. Memories of my little fighter, how sick he really was. And how lucky we are that he is still here. I'll have to copy one and post it sometime. They are really interesting, at least I think so.


For all those people that ask if Jax O's are ever in his nose. The answer would be a no.
