Not a $1,000,000.00 Baby...

Well, it's been 10 months since Jack was born, 3 of that spent in the NICU.  We had always wondered what the total amount for those days, months spent in the NICU would total out to be...just curious if we would hit the million dollar mark.  Well, we received the official bill last week, he did NOT hit the million dollar mark for his time spent in there - only $590,000 - he did a pretty good job of closing in on that mark and I think with all of our other hospital stays and surgeries we may be close. I might have to add it all up just to know what the first year ended up being...no particular reason as to why I want to know, just curious I guess.  Either way, no matter what the final total ends up being, my Jack is MORE than worth every penny!  The care he received was over and above wonderful and I love the fact we still keep in touch with those amazing nurses!!

As I'm realizing that September is almost here, Jack's 1st birthday is coming up VERY soon and I am starting to work on planning it.  I look at how far we've come, starting off at a tiny 1lb 10o to now a chunky almost 16lbs and over 26in tall, off all meds except reflux ones, no lung problems, and one of the most important things is no tubes now!  It's been a long road but totally worth it!
