Baby Fletcher is still in the NICU. Back and forth his parents go, trying to be with him as much as possible. I have such admiration for them. But it pains me to see what they are going through. The baby was supposed to come home today - with great joy and relief. But when they went to pick him up, they were told that he was not eating enough and they had to keep him at the NICU until his eating was back to where it is supposed to be. I cannot imagine the letdown they must have felt. I broke into tears when Kate told me on the phone. Great disappointment quickly followed by worry and fears for the baby. We have never had to leave a baby in a hospital and maybe this is just "little stuff" and not really a big deal, but to me, it is the world right now. And I won't feel right until he is at home with his mom and dad.
