Yesterday the lack of sleep caught up to me so I rented a hotel room for the night. I hate leaving Angelica but having a new born in the hospital is tough. She is getting woken up throughout the night by nurses and hospital staff. And she needs to feed every three hours. On the way to the hotel I met a man in the elevator who had just lost his son. He got in the elevator and said "I feel numb". He then proceeded to tell me about the events that occurred over the past couple days. His wife went into labor two months early and his son passed away a little over 24 hours later. I held back tears in my eyes and thought back on the day when Angelica was born. We all have our struggles in life. We all had/have this plan for our life and our children. God has his plan. I do not know why my child was born with a heart condition and without ears. I do not know if she will be able to hear. I do know my child is beautiful and loved. She is a blessing and she has already taught me so much about strength and faith.
I am so very grateful for my family. Thankful for the blessings in life.

She is sooo beautiful! And she is a gift from God! You are an amazing woman and I know how loved she is and will always be! Prayers for continued strength, rest that you need and sending you loads of virtual hugs!!!! 😘
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about you guys and praying. Sometimes taking a night away from the hospital and getting good rest is what is needed. I tell families that all the time in the NICU. I will keep praying for you!
