Happy birthday to Charlotte. Her actual birthday isn't for another week, but we celebrated this afternoon with a combined party for her and her friends Philippine and Parker.
It is hard to believe that it was only a year ago that Charlotte was on the breathing machines in the NICU at Addenbrooke's. We're so thankful for all of the dedicated and caring people who helped her through that time, and for the military, which unhesitatingly gave me time away from work and unflinchingly paid the bills for all of Charlotte's care. Not everyone is so fortunate.
Not everyone is so fortunate to have to the family support that we did, either. Especially Martha, who dropped her summer plans and immediately arrived at our doorstep -- 3000 miles away-- to make sure we were ok. Thank you Mom.
At the Addenbrooke's, parents often send a thank you note and a one-year photo of their kids who started off in the NICU. I think this'll be an appropriate shot!
