Dear Lucia,
You have your neurology follow up tomorrow morning at Monmouth Medical Center. I know you will be a rock star. Of course I worry...I'm your mom. I'd worry no matter what. I want the best for you. I want you to have the world. I want you to have everything you could possibly desire. I would worry about you. But I know you so well. I've been blessed with four months of Lucia. You now are quite the talker. You babble, you coo. You sing. You will hold certain notes for a while and then when I repeat after you, you giggle. You are doing everything that a four month old baby would do. I do look forward to the day when you are no longer on thickened feeds. I have to mix your milk in a tub in the fridge. I'm glad I still pump, that I never gave up. Part of me still hopes you can breastfeed one day... You've come so far. I have to be confident in that. I know you will be amazing tomorrow. I can't think anything other than that. You've been so amazing so far. I love you!! You are proof that hope exists. I share your story with others to show other parents how resilient babies' brains are, and I encourage parents with babies in the NICU to never give up hope. You are an angel and an inspiration. Your story touches hearts and allows people to believe in miracles.
I am so proud to be your mama!!!
I love you,
Mama
