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.

Riding the Waves
One thing I've noticed lately is that your breathes have grown nice and deep. Evidence of this is on your vital stats monitor, specifically the bottom graph with the purple wave form. Were your breathes too shallow, the waves wouldn't reach very far above the line. This is good news, because if and when we do take you off the ventilator, you'll know to take breathes on your own.
