NICU Homecoming Day
I was just standing in my living room staring at some photos of the kids and lamenting the fact that I’ve been seriously lacking in interesting topics to blog about this week, when I realized that the anniversary of Camden’s NICU homecoming came and went this month without me even noticing. It’s a little strange, because three babies on our forums have come home this month, and for some reason, Camden’s homecoming never even crossed my mind.
On February 5th, 2006, we brought Camden home after 46 days in the NICU. This time last year, I never thought I’d make it through the first week of February without a meltdown. Now, this month, instead of being sad, I’ve been totally absorbed in what a great, funny kid Camden is turning into.
Don’t get me wrong, Camden still has her struggles, with communication ranking at the top of the list, but her joy is infectious. Tonight, for example, we watched a few minutes of a collegiate gymnastics competition on TV, and she spent the rest of the night giggling while rolling around on the ground doing “flips.” Every few minutes, when she got too tired, she jump up and give herself a big round of applause. It was too funny, and too cute to waste time being sad right now!
