The most disturbing picture was showing her lying all alone with no one to hold her.

Dear Paulat:

My daughter was 2 months premature, and while I very much wanted to be with her every minute, the needs of my toddler son and logistics (I couldn't drive due to my surgery, the hospital was 30 minutes away, our nearest family was 1,700 miles away - lost of obstacles, but we did the best we could) prevented me from spending more than just a few hours a day with her.

I poured as much love into her as I could during our time together, and her stats jumped after every visit. I burned up the phone lines around the clock checking on her, and didn't put her down for days after we got her home.

Don't judge too much by 1 photo.

Agreed; hopefully that was only a momentary lull.
