It's easier to operate than a sippy cup, which has to be tipped up; all you have to do is suck. <br /><br />Good luck and sorry if that's not helpful.Young Christian Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14841086379453634889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8904923132446589250.post-48319248923460410552009-07-13T04:38:42.434-04:002009-07-13T04:38:42.434-04:00Hi! My name is Allison Maggard and my daughter So...Hi! My name is Allison Maggard and my daughter Sophia was born @ 27 weeks as a micro preemie also. She weighed 2 lbs and was in the nicu for 127 days. Really bad lungs... the docs said the worst they had seen in a long time! She is still on oxygen full time. Sophia just turned 1 on May 5th. Anyways, I was reading your blog and just wanted to leave you a note and say hello. I am always looking for moms with preemies so we can all relate to eachother. My email is allisonstacie@yahoo.com or I am going to get this blog thing going... I have been bad about that. I would love to hear from you! <br />AllisonThe Maggard Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517730346374904247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8904923132446589250.post-27043797027658631452009-07-13T00:21:41.090-04:002009-07-13T00:21:41.090-04:00Thank you for this post, especially the portion re...Thank you for this post, especially the portion related to the positives and negatives. <br /><br />How to balance a sense of optimism with a sense of reality - that has to be one of the most troubling aspects of working with severely premature babies in the NICU. That balance is pretty ineffective when we explain it with our technical jargon, but in this post I get it loud and clear because it comes from your heart.E.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07114733277765990020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8904923132446589250.post-50533101547321087952009-07-12T11:51:30.118-04:002009-07-12T11:51:30.118-04:00Raising preemies is no easy task, but it makes the...Raising preemies is no easy task, but it makes the milestones that much more rewarding. Good luck with your upcoming OT appointment.. hope they listen to your request for more OT. (ps-I've moved blog locations.
