It’s easy to take health for granted until something goes wrong.  Today, all of my kids are healthy, and for that I am thankful.  I know what I have to be thankful for because we haven’t always been so lucky.

Four years ago this December, I was admitted to the hospital in preterm labor.  I was just 30 weeks pregnant.  Proactive doctors, complete bedrest and a series of medications managed to stop my labor, but I was kept in the hospital because our baby girls was breech and my cervix was dangerously short.  We settled in for a longterm hospitalization, but just 6 days after I was admitted, our daughter started showing signs of distress.  The very next day, she had to be delivered by urgent c-section, 9 weeks premature.
