The following are letters to my daughter, Ellie, who was born premature, 4 months too early. They document her many months stay in the NICU, her trials, and the emotional struggles of her mother and I.

The Lion that Snuggled with a Mouse
I'm surprised that I didn't think yet to show you the vast array of machinery responsible for monitoring your vitals and administering the substances necessary for your survival. The ones I've shown here are only the items most proximate to your incubator. There are many more that are wheeled over on a daily basis, and not to mention those inside of your incubator.
It's such a peculiar contrast. All of these large, sturdy machines enveloping your diminutive little body. It reminds me of a lion snuggling with a mouse.
