I am so happy for all of you!!<br /><br />Give her a hug and kiss from me, and a HIGH five for being such a brave little girl. <br /><br />Hugs to you too mama, you need to try and relax a bit now, if at all possible. :)<br /><br />I'm thinking of you all. <br /><br />p.s.

And even when we KNOW we aren't to blame, it sure is hard to shake those fears. I'm so glad the surgeon was able to tell you the cause so you can worry a little less (Well, theoretically worry a little less...)<br /><br />And like everyone else I'm so glad that Ava is home and will keep praying that the recovery keeps going well. <br /><br />And from another mama who knows how exhausting children's hospitals are, please remember to be kind to yourself and get some rest!<br /><br />Love ya!Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874257412958004222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7714919283577385042.post-10917901189785984912011-08-19T00:57:38.129-05:002011-08-19T00:57:38.129-05:00Welcome home Ava!

Don't beat yourself up, 20 ...Welcome home Ava! Don't beat yourself up, 20 years later I still ask myself how my baby could be born with Gastroschisis and what caused it and to this day I still don't have an answer. All you can do is "listen" to her and give her what she needs now. I remember asking my OB how it happens and she said that when Ellie stood in the cute line twice and missed the belly line so she ended up with 2x the cuteness. Now I'm convinced this may be true when I look at Ava's photo :)<br /><br />Stay strong and find comfort in knowing that once this is all over, she is going to be fine and one day soon this will all be a distant memory. Give her a hug from me and Ellie!Leeannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12618598683751436602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7714919283577385042.post-8203030254630043942011-08-18T15:10:02.013-05:002011-08-18T15:10:02.013-05:00Yay!

Of course this wasn't your fault, but as mamas we all blame ourselves for everything our babies have to endure!
