What souls the words come from.<br /><br />"Sentience, intelligence, skepticism, you name it, has a baby ever held as much in a glance as our girl...?"<br /><br />Tom--I know we haven't met, but Jane has become all of our girl.<br /><br />I hope that's OK.Raspberrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6873415958731233962.post-53369773958819061642010-01-20T13:42:09.107-05:002010-01-20T13:42:09.107-05:00I know which nurse you are talking about! She is a...I know which nurse you are talking about! She is a riot!!!! Heck I am trying to talk my team into following us across the hall, LOL! I think my primary Chris has baby sat for Alyssa the other day. And now with us leaving to across the hall you may end up with some of my nurses since they know this same scenerios as of going through it with the Mr Man. <br />Don't worry, we have been to that same cliff side and jacob came back to us. It's truly scary and if you really need someone to talk to that has been through this please don't hesitate to call me. It's definitely a tough road, and its not pretty to see your little one all drugged up and out of it :-( I definitely feel your pain. The best thing for jane is hearing her mommies voice and feeling her touch. Keep doing what you are doing for the angel and we are all praying for her to heal.<br />GOOD VIBES AND JUJU TO JANE!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00338606111060168900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6873415958731233962.post-58585515954630357332010-01-20T09:42:44.125-05:002010-01-20T09:42:44.125-05:00We're with you.

The vibes aren't quite that strong. But we would if we could.)<br /><br />Thinking of you all, and of Jane.Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17085674426821239961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6873415958731233962.post-27313168564910893592010-01-20T08:53:46.791-05:002010-01-20T08:53:46.791-05:00Metaphorical breaths indeed. Tia, how beautifully...Metaphorical breaths indeed. Tia, how beautifully you express the paradox of loving this beautiful being who is Jane. I wish we could all see the fragility of one another and acknowledge it even a smidge as well as you do about your daughter. She is full of wonder and as Tom says filled with intelligence, sentience and skepticism ... what a girl.<br /><br />Your love for one another continues to expand and strengthen and envelope her (and us) and breath by breath Jane takes her steps. What a grace to be able to be there with her through your words of love, laughter and hope.<br /><br />Prayers and warmth and continued wishes of improvement wend their way to you ... and thank you for including us all in your most intimate, loving family journey.<br /><br />Blowing kisses and prayers from Florida,<br /><br />CindyCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05147416487171740144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6873415958731233962.post-92033221543136858032010-01-19T23:27:33.104-05:002010-01-19T23:27:33.104-05:00You two are such lovely writers and people. What ...You two are such lovely writers and people. What thoughtful parents and so good to keep us all updated regardless of how tiring this must be for you. No wonder Jane's handling everything with such grace. Here's more thoughts to help push Jane back from the edge.<br /><br />Rachel/tt VanillaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6873415958731233962.post-24713821197939180492010-01-19T22:54:03.017-05:002010-01-19T22:54:03.017-05:00Our girl might be fragile--and indeed she is--but ...Our girl might be fragile--and indeed she is--but look at those eyes? Holy smokes. Sentience, intelligence, skepticism, you name it, has a baby ever held as much in a glance as our girl, Jane? <br /><br />I look into those eyes and I believe in her. Progress is going to be in baby steps, forgive the pun. Today was better than yesterday, and yesterday was better than the day before. It's a long march. <br /><br />My bigger concern is your writing. I used to be the novelist in this family. Now I can't hold a candle to your prose. Especially the last paragraph. You are channeling beauty, my dear wife, which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who knows you. I miss you.Tomnoreply@blogger.com
