My daughter was born at 1 lb 11 oz and will be 2 this month. It's a hard marathon to run that unfortunately doesn't just end once you are out of the NICU. Trying to pump breast milk when you are emotionally and physically exhausted, and when you are so busy taking care of your fragile baby that you stop taking care of yourself, really difficult. Bless you Auntie Amber for stepping in and taking care of the basic needs you can take care of. Laundry, cooking, cleaning, writing thank you notes, keeping the loved ones updated are all things that need to be done, but not neccesarily by mom or dad. <br /><br />My daughter never arched her back in pain from reflux but she threw up daily, often up to three times a day for over a year. They were often violent episodes through the nose with her screaming out sometimes for 10-15 minutes afterwards. It's agonizing. Truly heartbreaking for a mother to watch, over and over again. It seems so basic to get your child to eat food and that's what makes it so devastating when it can't happen "normally". Even harder when you are dealing with a preemie that you are trying to help "catch up". <br /><br />Know that I am praying for the family and if you ever want to chat, email me. amandalrowan@gmail.com http://therowanblog.blogspot.comAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732014961087715914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979637521243658100.post-26137470922437462182009-07-31T19:39:50.142-05:002009-07-31T19:39:50.142-05:00if i could deliver you pizza i would, but i think ...if i could deliver you pizza i would, but i think it might be cold by the time it gets there! :) i will be praying that the new medication helps and for peace for rach and justin. i hope that you all can get into some kind of routine with friends and family helping out. i wish i was closer, i would love to be there!

It is a definite life changing event. I am so sorry for all that you are going through right now. It will pass I promise you. Please don't be afraid to ask for help. Jimmie needs you to be calm and relaxed because he can pick up on that too. I am glad you will be getting help from people who love you. I think of you often and pray that life will get more relaxed soon. Poor little guy he just wants to play. Hang in there and ask for help. Take time to be with each other and enjoy the love you share between each other. <br />Kathy BarnesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979637521243658100.post-16263955107590019032009-07-31T09:45:49.345-05:002009-07-31T09:45:49.345-05:00Praying for you all.

"Change will come in the morning." It's easy to get down when things seem to be going amiss, but just hold on to God's unchanging hand and he will lead them through their hard times. They are so very lucky to have a family circle with such a strong bond. I am praying with your whole family, God bless!!!!<br /><br />Mrs L Williams (co-worker of K Gravitt)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979637521243658100.post-21122137150898694132009-07-30T22:17:11.759-05:002009-07-30T22:17:11.759-05:00We are praying for all of you tonight.We are praying for all of you tonight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979637521243658100.post-33489293522326998672009-07-30T21:40:14.407-05:002009-07-30T21:40:14.407-05:00Praying for you all!Praying for you all!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16873029956740258055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979637521243658100.post-5873979290225832102009-07-30T21:23:48.543-05:002009-07-30T21:23:48.543-05:00I'm praying for Jimmie, Rachael, Justin & ...I'm praying for Jimmie, Rachael, Justin & all the family & friends helping & concerned.

Let anyone who wants to help help. That was my biggest mistake. Go take a long soak in the tub and cry - just let it all out. It will do you good. <br /><br />Amber, you are such a good aunt. And I would say you have the best parents. You need to go take a soak and cry too. It was the best advice I got when my oldest, born a week late, couldn't keep food down. She projectile vomited everywhere for weeks. Today she is 22 1/2. Things happen.<br /><br />Hugs to all of you for your perserverance. It shows all of us what a strong and abiding faith you have in our wonderful Lord and Savior. You are an inspiration to all of us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979637521243658100.post-81263238467727268172009-07-30T14:47:43.493-05:002009-07-30T14:47:43.493-05:00We're praying for you too!
