We're back in Maine. Came back yesterday. All is well with Gracie. She had been off c-pap (breathing) for about 24 hours, but this morning had to be put back on. They don't want her to stress to much to breathe. That is okay, we want her to be relaxed. We have to realize she is very little. She is 28 weeks today, but a week old as of yesterday! Don't worry, we sang Happy Birthday to her!
We were able to bring a picture up of her & her brother.. We strongly believe he is pulling her through this. Unfort, in NICU, there are good days & bad. So far, she is having a good day!
You should hear her Daddy with her. He is amazing. He loves his babies so much. Makes my heart smile!! He is doing "ok".. he is sooo angry with God! I don't blame him, but I'm trying to help him realize there is a reason, and that is God wanted/needed another angel. Easy to say.. harder to process!!
We're heading back to the hospital now. I'll write more tonight .. we are staying at a local Ronald McDonald house. Yesterday, I was extremely overwhelmed when we got here, but it's better now.
For those who want to attend services, or need to make arrangements for the services, it will be held Next Thursday 8/18 @ 10:00 a.m. at Centre-Trinity Methodist Church, 473 County Street, NB. Burial to follow immediately at Riverside Cemetary.
It will be awkward for us, and sad, but a celebration for a little life as well.
Thanks for all the facebook posts of prayer. We NEED them desperately. Thank you for all your concerns & support. We NEED them too!!
Love,
Pattie & Gary, Gracie & Maxwell (in our hearts forever)
