Happy Birthday, Baby Jakey!!
(5 hours old!)
(I remember when this photo was taken. You were 12 days old. You had just had surgery 5 days earlier. I wasn't able to hold you after your surgery. Finally, after 5 days, you were extubated and my amazing nurse, Nicole, let me hold you. I held you for 2 hours. I felt like such a normal mom!! I rocked you, sang to you, talked to you, and I even talked on the phone and watched TV! Almost felt like a normal newborn....except for all the tubes. I was in pure heaven. It was one of those tender mercies...because 1 day later was that fateful day that everything went terribly wrong in the cath lab. I'm not going to dwell on that. I want to remember the amazing 2 hours we spent together. Just me and you. All your stats were GREAT. I wished I could climb in your bed and hold you all night long.
Thanks for those 2 hours, buddy.)
I love you and miss you!!
Love,
Mommy
