Today we had an appointment with Edison's surgeon. It's difficult to put into words how we feel about this man. It is because of him that we have Edison today. He is very gruff, and a man of few words, but I know it thrills him to see how well Edison is doing. Anyway, it was a short and sweet visit and we go back in 6 months. Just a check in.
Afterwards we had a really nice visit in the NICU. We got to see our main team of nurses (Michelle, Heather and Dana) as well as some of the other nurses who had cared for Edison. We also saw our former social worker and our Daisy. It was a really fun visit and Edison loved showing off his new tricks.
Visits like the one today are so healing. It's amazing how one small thing can completely take us back. For me today it was using the soap in the bathroom. The smell almost made me sick. It just completely makes me remember how we felt "then". But it makes me appreciate so much more how we feel "now". I like now so much better :)

HUGS AND SMILES AND KISSES :-)
Once more, you have made goose bumps the size of mountains dance all over my body. This entry is all the more meaningful for me because I have just been recalling how tough things were this time last year. What a difference for our little trooper - and his trooper parents. Love, love, and more love.

What I would have given to have been there to see the reactions at NICU from all your friends and angels. We will never forget the miracle they have given to us all.
It was also good that you feel some healing yourself, Jen, you and Martin have earned the right to all the bright moments and rewards you can gather.
Thanks for sharing this. What a great shot of our little man!!!
Much love,
Pa
