My son was in the hospital for less than a week (he had RSV, the respiratory illness that often strikes newborns and preemies in winter), and it was so awful. I can't even imagine how hard it must have been for you to have him in the hospital for seven weeks. You have all my sympathy.

Sometimes when I go in to peek at her at night when she is sleeping I am overwhelmed. It totally eclipses any frustration I may have had with her during her two-and-a-half year old tantrums during the day.
