When the ventilator was set up, our daughter was wheeled down the hall towards the neonatal intensive care unit. Areli was recovering in the hallway. I convinced the hospital staff to allow her to see her beautiful face...just for a moment. Areli fighting the effects of the anesthesia was able to lift her head and focus her eyes enough to see her. It ended up being the only seconds that she would see her daughter on this side of heaven.
