Speaking of Birthdays...

Yesterday morning I took a 3 mile walk, just because I could. Just because 8 years ago, my blood pressure was 170/123, I was post c-section and my newborn son was in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit on life support. He had a tube between his vocal chords, so that when he cried, no sound was able to be heard. He had a feeding tube in his tummy, so that my breast milk could reach him. This day, thanks be, both of us are healthy and strong. He's interested human anatomy and wanted to spend the day with his best friend. His room is a mess and he loves to eat sweets and drink root beer. What a blessing!
