Life as a mom of a preemie...First, congratulations! Life as a mom of a preemie does not always get easier once they come home, but let me tell you the rewards are endless. My son, now a happy, VERY energetic and healthy nine year old was a former 23 weeker and weighed just 15 ounces at birth (yup). Here is my advice: take it day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute - it gets easier. And one day, when Faith is running around your house and skipping about, those memories of the wires, beeping monitor sounds and exhausting nights, will be a distant memory and you may even smile and laugh about it. It's also okay to complain - my gosh you deserve some time to vent! Good luck - You can do it!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10798902508250568652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568110501770109156.post-37177859736134363242014-04-22T19:47:52.110-04:002014-04-22T19:47:52.110-04:00Complain all you want.

We still travel with a suction machine, chest compression vest machine, and the nebulizer machine. It's ok to get exhausted and complain. God has a plan and it's not always an easy plan, but it is always in his glory. Caring for a medically fragile child is the most exhausting thing we've ever done. But it's been the most rewarding. God bless!

And complaining doesn't mean you aren't grateful for the kisses and the hugs or the joy. <br /><br />It just means you're frustrated and you need to let it out. Heck, Jesus threw a temper tantrum in the temples, so I think we are allowed one or two ourselves ;)!<br /><br />Praying for you and your family.P!nkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10193703533246466440noreply@blogger.com
