Dear Lucia,
Your progress continues to improve. You blow everyone out of the water. I listened in on rounds and the doctors used the word "amazing" twice. I had to document it. They are confirming what I've known from the second I met you. But they are reluctant to say anything positive. Your tube might come out tomorrow! In one week, your progress blows my mind. You are so strong, so brave, such a fighter. I'm so proud that you're my daughter. I'm a little sad that you're sleeping so much today, but it's sleep, not sedation. And you are a growing baby, making such huge strides. You need your rest. I'm so proud of you. You ARE amazing, and you are my beautiful little girl.
Holding you today, you laid across my lap on the My Brest Friend pillow. You settled into sleep so quickly, you were so cozy. You were bundled up, swaddled, like a burrito. I laid my head on your tummy, kissed you. I noticed your lungs opening and closing, felt your breathing. That was the most amazing feeling in the world - you breathing on your own. You are being taken off the vent tomorrow!! A week ago they (stupid doctors) didn't think you'd make it on the vent long enough for your MRI and you have made it. Every day your settings are lowered. Now you are showing them - you are going off the vent tomorrow. You are so strong, so brave, so resilient. I love you so much!! I cannot believe how much strength you give to me every day. You look in my eyes with similar big blue eyes and I am reassured. You are so beautiful!! Your daddy and I love you so very much and are so grateful for you, our little miracle!
Love, Mama
