Forgetting things...

Greetings!

A note on forgetting...

We forgot to post a new blog on Sunday and with that in mind as a theme we thought we would reflect on things we have forgotten.

We have forgotten the phone number and the secret code to the Mary Bridge NICU. Seriously, we had this down pat and could call it half-asleep on a Thursday morning at 2:00 am if necessary.

We have forgotten how to convert (quickly) the metric measurements to the standard measurements. Elsa and Jonas were weighed every day and we used to celebrate 20 gram gains!

We have forgotten how to hook up an air tank at home.

We have forgotten all the names of the ventilators that our kids used.

We have forgotten the rotation of the cafeteria and are not really sure when onion rings are on offer any more.

We have forgotten the name of the old specialized formula that we used to feed Jonas and Elsa.

We have, sadly, forgotten some sames, but not faces, of some of the doctors that helped allow Jonas and Elsa to thrive.

But we haven't forgotten how much we love Jonas and Elsa. We are so blessed and so thankful.

P.S. We forgot to take any pictures this week.

God Bless,
Mari & Dan & Elsa & Jonas

  1. I love that you are able to forget all that medical NICU stuff that was of the upmost importance for what seemed like forever. I have a very similar list of those forgotten things. Just don't forget to keep posting! I have enjoyed popping in from time to time ever since your babes were born (my son, Cody has Allison as his PT back then).
