Day 21, Evening

Hannah was sleeping soundly when we visited tonight. No big changes from earlier today.

We attended a support group meeting tonight with other parents of current preemies and some whose children have "graduated" from the NICU and gone home. It was very reassuring and cathartic to meet with other parents that are going through or have gone through the same thing we are. One mother there had had twins the same age and size as Hannah, and had lost one of them after just a few days. The other is now a year old and perfectly healthy. It was good for Carla to talk to someone who had been through almost the same experience as ours (If you were at this meeting and are reading this blog, please email me at k-minor@ti.com so we can keep in touch. I will not share your email address except with the rest of the TLC group, if you give me permission).
