Katie is Strong, photo by Harold Davis.

When we visited Katie Rose at the NICU today she was snoozing comfortably on her tummy under a small diaper that served as a blanket. She opened her eyes a couple of times when she heard our voices, then went back to sleep.

Katie’s isolette was covered so it would be dark for her. I didn’t see any alternative to boosting the ISO fantastically, so I shot this at ISO 2,500!

Katie Rose is a fighter. Katie is our pixie daughter. Katie is strong.
