Happy Birthday to Alexis. What a year! Here it is, by the numbers:


365 days

153 blog entries

73 days in the hospital

21 doctors (8+ neonatologists, 5 obgyns, 2 surgeons, 2 cardiologists, 1 infectious disease specialist, 1 geneticist, and 2 pediatricians)

9 therapists (3 occupational, 2 physical, and 2 speech)

2 ventilators

2 blood transfusions

4 RSV shots

1 PICC line

too many IV's

2 Easters

1 family vacation

and 1 extra chromosome.

And with all that came countless amounts of

incredible nurses,

prayers,

worries,

reassurances,

tears,

smiles,

hugs,

kisses,

questions,

answers,

memories,

and blessings.

Happy birthday Alexis.
