Congratulations! Despite of how afraid you may feel now, (I understand), My daughter went through very similar circimstances. I still remember being up for three days and two nights worrying myself sick, and my poor wife was the one with most of the work, cause even though I was there most of the time I could be, even as a proud Daddy they wouldn't let me stay all night. You WILL get through this. I remember thinking, man, how will this wee little girl ever get big enough and strong enough to breath without all those tubes, to not have to be inside that plastic bubble that isolates her from my real hands, when am I gonna be able to hold her and feed her and burp her and play with her and change her diapers and give her a bath so she can know what fun a rubber ducky is, and is she ever gonna be able to come home at ALL?? Yes, it was a very shaky time, but also a very happy one, because she DID get through it, we ALL did, and you know what? Before we knew it she not only caught up to all those other babies born that day, she got even bigger, and very happy, and she played with that rubber ducky and she just loved being tickled while getting changed, and man, nothing like a BIG rewarding first giggling smile and from your little newborn baby, something I know I will NEVER ever forget! She's eight now, and you would not even know she ever had all those scary moments way back then. Hang in, it WILL get sooo much better. Peter
