NICU/CCN Graduates Reunion

It was this past Sunday and it was great! Everyone was coming up to us to see Madison it was awesome. They were so happy to see her and I was so happy to see them. They gave my daughter life. There was a few people I didn't get to see but I will go back and see them. Her primary doctor actually remembered what POD she was in...out of alll those babies he remembered hers...Madison was the problem child in the NICU haha but it was nice he stopped us to talk with him.He commented on how great she looked. We also saw another doctor the one who came down to us to let us know "this would be the time to stop all efforts," (regarding Dexter) she was also the doctor who took care of me when I was a preemie so we had some history. Even though she was on our team of doctors when Madison was in the NICU she still came by and spoke with us. We have some type of unspoken connection. We took some pictures with a few nurses and with her. Madison also saw her POD buddy. Her mom, Madison, her daughter and I sat with each other and talked about what each of our babies are doing now and that at some point we should meet up and have them play together. I have to get the pictures on here at some point so once they are I will get a few up here. Upon checking in they gave us a little backpack type thing that has an Eeeor (pretty sure I spelt that wrong) a little t shirt for Madison that says "NICU Graduate) and a little book. So sweet they gave us things for here. I submitted a couple pictures for the reunion and they had them up in a slidshow on the a projector. I just can't believe how hard this little girl fought to stay her, she just amazes me everyday.

NICU Graduates

We got our invitation a week or so ago and I have to say I'm really excited to see all the doctors and nurses who put there time and minds together to give Madison life. I know quite a few of her situations in the NICU took the doctors and nurses for a ride because no one knew what was happening with her and why. I'm very lucky we had the doctors and nurses we did and I'm thankful for all their dedication and hard work. The reunion is June 16th, a day after the hubby's birthday and Madison will get a chance to see a friend she shared her POD with during those 4 months. I keep in touch with her mom and we are on Facebook and have exchanged numbers so it'll be awesome to see her there. In two days Madison will be 9 months!...Adjusted 5 months. I can't believe she has been home almost 5 months it's ridiculous how time flies. I got this code from Pampers about a free father's day book from Shutterfly and I think I may do that for the hubbs for father's day EVEN THOUGH he didn't get me anything lol BUT thats okay :P
