So hard sometimes

We spoke again with Dr. Handler, our Neurosurgeon - who's pretty much running the show when it comes to the care of Alex. He keeps saying great things about her progress. They want to get her off the ventilator now - since they've weened her from the pain medication. So Mama's holding time got postponed so they can monitor her closely.

People are telling us that this experience is making them appreciate little things, like simply being able to hold their baby when she cries. And that really makes us feel better. We know things happen for a reason, and it's comforting to hear the impact that our Alex is having on others. Please keep sharing - it makes it easier for us.
