@jemie.com: This hospital stay was hard. Mentally. Emotionally. There were a lot of tears from all of us. In the hospital, I'm the strong one. I keep it together. I push my emotions aside so 1 can advocate for Piper the way she needs me to. But as she gets older, the hospital stays seem to get harder. Maybe it's hearing her beg to go home. Or seeing the fear on her face every time a nurse or doctor walks into the room. Or
