It's been 4 days since the doctors said they will stop the machines if you don't wake up during the next 5 days. And you baby girl, you woke up an hour ago. I still can't believe it. God heard my prayers and you kept fighting. I'm so so proud of you. This is the best day of my life. To be honest, for a few moments I thought you would pass away because your heart beat so slowly that I thought it would stop beating every second. But it didn't stop beating. You are here with us, that's the only thing that matters.
For the first time in 4 weeks, I'm crying happy tears. I'm so incredibly happy that you are still alive. This is better than every birthday gift.
But you are still on life support. You are barley responding to everything I do. You squeeze my hand when you want me to cuddle with you. I promise you, that's something you will never have to even ask for. I love cuddling with you. That's one of my favorite things to do. So I will just cuddle with you all day until we get to the oncology floor again. I can't wait for that, as stupid as it sounds. I hate it there too, but being here means you are still critical. And I want you to be safe. Today is a good day. You only woke up, but it means the world to me. We are one step closer to getting out of here again. One step closer to a normal life. And that's the only thing I want. To live a normal life again.
