Our baby spent a couple of days in NICU after birth. Horrible. Then upon being returned to us (I was still in - c section), we had the Bitch Nurse from Hell, who literally snatched him from my breast to do yet another blood draw. Made him scream, she was rough, I almost took her effin head RIGHT OFF HER BODY. That protective thing?

I wish I could have held Isaac during all the tests he had as a baby for the (benign) tumor that used to be on his skull. Instead they just put him in a baby straight-jacket and strapped him down to a cold metal table and forced horrible-tasting sedatives down his throat to keep him still. I felt awful. I would have gladly taken the extra radiation from a CT scan that wasn't for me if I could have held him instead. <BR/><BR/>Jasper is going to be okay. How could he not be, with such a great family?Jaelithehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12081888212421953409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-78208116541831438822008-06-17T01:00:00.000-04:002008-06-17T01:00:00.000-04:00Thinking of you and your sweet baby and loving tha...Thinking of you and your sweet baby and loving that you thought of lying down with him on you for this test.Liz Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09469435277058701080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-20828184096354767912008-06-16T20:15:00.000-04:002008-06-16T20:15:00.000-04:00Thank you for the sweetness of your words and the ...Thank you for the sweetness of your words and the tender way you shared such a scary experience.
