Before now, I've had concerns about Danny and wanted to keep touch with his neurologist just in case...but at this point, I'm past that.

I figured it was a way for them to keep billing insurane, and we had a case manager and a plethora of therapists, so I just didn't go. Even after Aleah died, I didn't take Ada. I didn't have anxiety when I went to have Micah, even when they told me that she was going to the NICU, I didn't freak. The charge nurse for the NICU came to speak with me, and I told her my concerns and fears. I never had to step foot in the NICU, but if I had, I'm sure that the anxiety would've come full force. I used to get light headed just driving to the hospital. I was put in the room next door to the room I was in when I had the twins and I was okay. It fades, it does. I live in fear of the day I have to take Ada, Willa, or Micah to the ER where we said our final goodbyes to Aleah, so I guess some parts of it do linger.

Every time I am in the hospital (which is often) I walk past the escalators that took me up to my bi-weekly ultrasounds, which were usually full of bad news. I've come to dread doctor's visits, wondering what they're going to say or if there is a new diagnosis on the horizon. Sigh. In other news, yay for new sounds! What a miracle that must be for you!

Very exciting! We lost this one some time ago, but like you said, they come and go! Ya, not fun on the going down not so fun memory lane. I'm glad we moved because Aiden's AVT and audi appts in Texas were right smack dab next door to where my dad spent some of his final days. Not fun and I cried after each appt. I dreaded them because of it. Good luck and hopefully these follow ups will be gone for good real soon! First, YAY Danny for a new sound! Very exciting!
