A miracle? No, he is a survivor!

So many people tell me what a miracle Jonathan is and yes he is a miracle but I would have to say he is more of a survivor!
A miracle is a baby that last 40 weeks in a womb with no complications,comes out crying, has an apgar score of between 8 and 10, is able to cuddle with the momma after getting cleaned up and after a couple days of being in the hospital while mommy recovers gets to go home! That is a miracle! Jonathan didn't get any of that however he did survive! He survived a premature birth of 25 weeks, he survived inside an incubator (far from the comforts of the womb), the endless suctioning, the pokes, the lights, the noise, the touching and a surgery! He survived a breathing machine that did all the work of "breathing" for him. He survived from getting any illnesses that would require more intervention. He survived from getting ROP, NEC, MRSA, and brain bleeds. He survived after a PDA surgery at 2 weeks old!He survived 5 months in the NICU! He SURVIVED even after the doctors told us he wouldn't!!
Even as the days go on he is still our survivor and always will be!
