It was exactly 14 months and 20 days ago that Ryan died and that I walked out of the CCMU at University Hospital. Today I walked back in. This was not a planned visit, in fact no one from the hospital knew that we were coming, and to be honest, I didn't know I was going there today either (I was on a shopping trip to that side of the state and decided that since I was only 2o minutes away I wanted to stop in).
It was not easy to walk through those doors, to smell the hospital smells, to feel like no time had passed at all. But it was good to see some of the people who made such a huge impact on my life!

God continues to show His love for His dear child. You are an amazing woman of God and an awesome mom...keep running the race!
I'm proud of you! I'm sure it was just as nice for them to see you as it was for you to see them. I hope your IKEA trip was fun! Did you buy lots of stuff?
Oh yes..going back to 'the' hospital. It's kind of strange to read your post this morning as I just received an email from Children's Mercy Hospital back in KC. On Sept. 6th they are having a dedication for all of the babies who have died - at this time they will be hanging a quilt filled with memories of these little ones. We had a dear lady (who we barely knew at the time) sew a square for Libby - we never got to see the finished square. My heart cannot wait to travel back home now - so I can see her quilt at the hospital..but my goodness, taht will be hard to walk through those doors. We had to go back there twice when Cheyenne was having problems with her heart - that was definitely NOT easy, however this will be very hard as we know we will be seeing our baby girls memorial on 'the wall'.
How did it go while you were there? Did you run into lots of dr's/nurses ect?
Praying for you sweetie - I know that must have been hard on you and on your precoius heart. Hope you are having a nice day today...
God bless.
