tina sent a wonderful card from tuscaloosa, alabama; like me, you might not knowthe name of the city comes from two choctaw indian words, tushka (warrior) and lusa (black). see, you really can learn something new every day 🙂

tina took the time to make us quite a personalized card and tell us the story of her own 30 weeker, alina. it really helped a lot to hear the stories of kids that were not only surviving, but thriving. tina also has some nice words to say about the blog; it wasn’t always easy to write every day, but it was trememdously gratifying to hear from fellow nicu parents who felt that the site helped them to deal with what their own feelings.

alina’s 1st birthday is approaching on december 29th, 2004 – happy birthday alina!
