That looks like a great party! I only wish we weren't so far from the NICU where my son was born, so we could go to the reunions. I think you have a fabulous idea of inviting current parents to mingle with the veterans, to buck up their spirits. Odds are good everyone would find at least one healthy baby who came through whatever each of them is going through. Did you suggest that to whoever coordinates it?

I'm so happy for you and Mike (and Maddie, obviously). It's awesome that the NICU does the reunion thing. What's going to be real awesome will be in 2 years when you go back and Maddie will be able to say "Thank you" to the people that cared for her during those 10 weeks.

What a great event! I think you're thanking them in the right way. Thank God for those doctors and nurses. Daddy Dans last blog post..Angels Fall Short Again

So great. I remember talking about this reunion in the very beginning days of Maddie being home. Has it really been almost a year?

And, yes, nurses are the only thing that make hospitals bearable. Thank goodness for the people dedicating their time to help others. Thank you nurses!

Heather, What a day of memories it must have been. God has a special place for nurses, I know ours have been the difference between making it through the hardest times and curling up under the bed, wanting the fight to be over. I'm so glad you got this day to celebrate Maddie's life and how far she's come and to thank the people who dedicated their lives to giving her a shot.

Dude. I am CRYING now. And I hate crying. But I love Maddie and I'm so proud of how well she's doing. And as a nurse, there's no better way to say thank you than to just show off how far she has come. Beckys last blog post..I Done Brought Sexy Back

Every day TOTALLY seems like a year!! Our daughter was born in April and stayed for 2 1/2 weeks. It doesn’t compare at all to what you guys went through, but man, it seemed like 6 months. It was horrible. But then, you know that. I’m so glad you got together with everyone. I don’t think our hospital does that.
