Re: [ventilatorkids] Re: Home Nursing

Hi,
We saw similar situations at the Univ of Michigan as well. When you hear
about people coming from the South, Minnesota, etc. just to see your doctors,
you can't help but feel a little more confident with their knowledge &
expertise. That's good news about Landon coming home soon -- I'll pray for a
speedy homecoming.

I just received an email from a friend of mine letting me know that she is
pregnant with baby #2. Her first baby was born on the same day as Tyler -- they
are four minutes apart and we were in the same hospital. Of course, hers was a
happy story where everything went as planned and she had a healthy, full-term
baby boy. And now, her second baby is due exactly two years after her first was
born. Some things come so easily to some people. Am I the only one who still
can't fight feelings of resentment and jealously when hearing this type of news?
I thought I was over feeling sorry for myself , but her email really knocked me
for a loop tonight....

Sylvia,
It takes about an hour but it would take us 2 hrs to go to
Indianapolis. They have the best doctors in Cincy, one of our friends
comes from Georgia to see our pulmonary docs. We have also met a boy
from Israel that was seeing the ENTs here. Seeing people from all over
the world come to see ur docs makes u have even more confident in them.
We dont like being an hour away but we dont want to move to Cincy so
well stay where we are. The docs think maybe Landon will finally get to
go home next week or the following so we r very hopeful.% months is
long enough!
