Sam ~ a chronicle

Another Day -- January 07, 2003

An MRI result, a second EEG order, an opthamologist appointment, some blood and urine. Just another day in the NICU. Still no diagnosis but the doctors are at least talking now of when we can bring Sam home.

if i didn't know better

had i not crested each wave of labor to your glorious
emergence
had i not been there for your debut
i would have thought you were dropped from heaven
your body damaged in the fall
but your spirit whole — big, beautiful and pure

never imagining my love to be so complete and selfless
not expecting my fierce desire to make your little body able
and perfect
or my fear to change anything
lest my meddling somehow diminish your beauty

You have captivated me
my sweet, imperfect angel
