    Lest I Forget (23)

    As we put our faces right next to the plastic and looked at her and jumped a little when the nurse started to speak. “Now, she’s not so premature that she needs to be hooked up to machinery all the time, so that’s a good thing. It means we can take her out to feed and hold her periodically. She’s doing pretty well; we just want to keep her in the incubator for awhile so she can get a little bit stronger before she goes home.”

    I couldn’t think of anything to say in response to this, and it didn’t look like Alice could either. We were both too fixated on the rise and fall of the baby’s chest. I think the nurse sensed that, because she left us for a minute or two and came back with a bottle. “She ate a little while ago, but she didn’t have very much, so I don’t think it would hurt her at all if you wanted to give her some food,” she told us.

    We stood back so she could get the baby out of the incubator. She was still hooked up by wires to several monitors, but she didn’t appear to be on any machines that were really regulating anything. The nurse saw me looking her over and smiled. “She’s very healthy for being premature. Her heart and lungs aren’t fully developed yet, but they’re pretty strong considering everything. She’s doing great on her own; we’re just putting some extra nutrients in her formula.”

    Alice and I nodded at this, and the nurse showed us how to hold her safely. Alice was the first one that got to, and it almost made me cry to see how well the baby seemed to fit in her arms. The nurse led her to a recliner in the corner and gave her the bottle. Alice repositioned a little awkwardly but managed to get one arm free to hold it.

    It took a minute for the baby to wake up, but when she did, she didn’t cry. She seemed to relax against Alice, and Alice smiled at me. She gave the baby the bottle, which she accepted, and they sat like that for a few minutes in silence. I looked out the window and grinned at Shane and Jenny, but turned back to the baby soon.

    1. MaGoose is right on. Thank you very much for posting another wonderful chapter so quickly. Even at the state A was in, she was still adorable. I love how the family were often together for each other. Shane naming Kallie was perfect. Obviously Kallie was brought up with lots of love and care by A & D. I am especially pleased that D finally revealed her enthusiasm of having Kallie in their lives. I was not 100% sure from the last post. Excellent as always. Looking forward to more.

    2. Wow just got caught up on your last post and here you are :D..After following how their friendship has been for forty odd years, find it fitting that Shane named Kallie. Nice reversal with Al getting nervous while Dana gets more excited…excellent chapter.

    3. You really are on a roll with this story. Awwwwwwwww… Love it!!! This chapter made me feel so warm and gooey inside. Again — so glad Dana continues to do well and that Alice is having some progress, too. I think they both know she will never be the same, but, they seem to be accepting what she will be able to do and preparing for what she won’t. And I am sure there will be good days and bad days but I do like the positive note they have going now. The connection between Alice/Dane and Kallie is beautiful. I think they are all lucky to have found each other. I am sure it will not be easy, but, they seem to know what they are in for. And, once again, love the friendships here with Shane and Jenny wanting to see the baby. The naming thing was perfect. I was wondering about “Kallie” — it is not a conventional name. It was very interesting that Alice wanted the middle name to reflect her mother. Wonderful update, MT!! Thank you so much!!

    4. long time no write! I just wanted to pop out and let you know that i’m still your staunch supporter here and that i’m thrilled about this happy danish moment.Yay, i love it when you feel you can’t be any happier. Now, could you bring that to the “present” and make Alice sing or something? too soon? humming then? Anyway,thanks for the chap, you rock MT!
