		<title>Indescribable</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know I have spent a great deal of time in the past complaining about the nurses we&#8217;ve received.
It makes me sad, because the vast majority of nurses we had in the NICU (and especially Dorrie&#8217;s primaries and honorary primaries) were fabulous. Competant, reliable and trustworthy. I did not like having to leave her with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Photographic Evidence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As was mentioned before, back in December, we had a plan for Dorrie&#8217;s grandpa and uncle (my dad and brother) to pay a visit around the holidays, but those plans were scuttled on account of flu. Luckily, the airline was understanding and willing to let them reschedule to a different flight, so instead, they came [...]]]></description>

		<title>Food</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning the person from the &#8216;feeding team&#8217; came down to visit again finally. She hadn&#8217;t been since last May, when she unfortunately visited right in the middle of a period of intense retching, gagging and throwing up while Dorrie was recovering from a course of antibiotics.
Of course, this time Dorrie slept through her whole [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dorrie Choice Awards</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In spite of not being able to talk, walk or sit up, Dorrie has definite preferences in terms of what she does with her time.  When she&#8217;s especially excited about something, she practically dances on the ground in a movement extremely reminiscent of the Snoopy Dance.
This year&#8217;s winners of the Dorrie Choice Awards are:
Favorite [...]]]></description>

		<title>2009 in Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last year for Christmas presents, I made a little book of 2008 with some text summarizing each month and lots of pictures.  I made the same thing again this year, and now that nearly everyone has seen their copy (just one left to send out), I&#8217;m free to recycle the text in a lovely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sleeping Beauty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I write this, at 1pm, Miss D is still asleep after being up until after 2:30 am last night. We thought last week that we were on track to get her to a slightly better schedule &#8212; she was very tired on Friday after an exhausting morning of PT and Synagis, and had a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Late Night Talk Show</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Miss Dorrie&#8217;s late night partying and sleeping in continue unabated. Right now, her average time for going to sleep is probably around 2:30am or later, and she&#8217;ll sleep past noon if we let her. Further updates as events warrant.
But the other thing she has been doing is learning that she can use her voice. When [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pink&#8230; parking space?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while ago I had posted about my difficulties in finding a normal colored School Bus toy for Dorrie, and my disgust at the corresponding line of pink and purple toys which exhibited signs of race, gender and ability fail.
And of course this translates into the adult world in the form of pink tools with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Christmas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since Dorrie was born, holidays or other dates of significance are incredibly fraught. Day to day, there is a constant underlying worry that she&#8217;s going to get sick, that she&#8217;s going to end up in the hospital. But when a holiday is coming up, that feeling becomes magnified: what if she gets sick on her [...]]]></description>

		<title>Little Sweet Potato</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since July, we have slowly been transitioning real foods in to Dorrie&#8217;s diet.  Two of those, carrots and sweet potatoes, are orange. And since we started using the large jars of sweet potatoes (6oz) a bit before Thanksgiving, she has been turning into one herself!  Her hands and feet are getting orange now [...]]]></description>
