My little super-star

I'm always so proud of Keith. I'm grateful for his life. I'm grateful that I was blessed with him.
I knew his article was coming, I had worked on it with his doctor team a while back. Today, I discovered it had been posted on the Hospital website, and I guess the emotions hit me all at once.
I read it, and even though I helped write it, it's almost as if it's someone elses story. Did I (we) really go through that?

It's been almost a year since Keith's trach tube has been out. Really? I can't believe that. I can't believe that the trach changing, suctioning, and being always on emergency alert-- is over. Wow.

As I have passed the 26 week mark (when I had Keith) in my current pregnancy (actually we hit 28 weeks yesterday!), I'm just all the more grateful of life. I'm grateful for Keith. I'm grateful for whatever more time God allows me to stay pregnant with our new daughter.


God is an on-time God!

Wow. I didn't realize how many complications your little man suffered due to being a preemie. I'm glad he's overcome so much in so little time. Congrats on being 28 weeks too!
