My three year old son has been fighting cancer for the last two years, so I have an inkling of what you're feeling. At his two-year birthday, I cried because I didn't know if he'd be able to walk or have both legs when his third birthday rolled around.<br /><br />I'm glad sweet baby James was able to have such wonderful birthday party, and you are in my thoughts.Judy in SATXnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-35415551286911377482011-01-04T13:31:59.174-05:002011-01-04T13:31:59.174-05:00I realize this post is coming waaaaaay late, howev...I realize this post is coming waaaaaay late, however, this Sunday Sweet's post linked back to James's birthday cake. My son Malcolm was born at 1 lb. 9.5 oz and spent 5 months in the NICU. He was terribly unhealthy for a long time. We were extremely lucky that he made it to his 1st birthday and beyond. He had a trach and a feeding tube and was not permanently off oxygen until he was about 2 yrs. 9 months. I am so grateful he has made it to 5 years. I have known so many NICU and PICU families who lost their precious ones as you have.<br /><br />There is an extremely wonderful organization here in Tucson called "Ben's Bells." www.bensbells.com It is founded and run by a family who lost their little one too soon. The driving philosophy is basically, random acts of extraordinary kindness.<br /><br />My heart goes out to you. I know how that first birthday felt. We weren't sure if he was going to make it then.MrsMalcolmDarcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02185388111264522746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-48668571991329046652010-10-14T19:19:02.315-04:002010-10-14T19:19:02.315-04:00What a sweet story with a beautiful cake!
