I just wanted to say that I truly appreciate all of the comments and words of encouragement. I wish I could respond to each email and comment I've received in the last 5 days, but it would take me days. You have really helped us through this and given me a lot of things to think about.
You are all wonderful friends! Thank you.

Congratulations on Bennett. I am sorry to hear of all the complications that he is having. As you know I know all to well the feelings/emotions you as a mother goes through with the experiences life gives you -- the hormones and health issues a baby faces. I hope and pray that Bennett's health improves fast and that you have the strenght emotionally and physically to get through these next days until he gets home and after he gets home. It is hard to see your little one at a hospital, let alone go home without him. That was one of the hardest thing I had to do with Alex when he was 7 weeks old for 22 days in the NICU.
Keep in mind that the doctors/nurses are there to help you - they are not there to be against you or against your wishes. They are trying to do what is best for Bennett. It is hard to sit back and listen to them. Sometimes I felt like I was in a bad dream looking in from the outside.
Try to relax as much as possible...not easy....I know. I would want them to check him over head to toe so that you can rest assured that he is healthy enough to come home worry free for you.
I wish the best for you family. Take care
Kim
