Amirah was born on January 13, 2010. She was a 27 weeker and was only 1lb 4oz at birth. She was trached at about 3 1/2 months old. And had the nissen and g-tube surgery about 6 weeks later. She is currently vent dependent.
We are in the process of getting ready to bring her home (hopefully mid September).

Tara was a 26 week micro preemie born on October 1, 2009....among other things I had IUGR that restricted her growth to that of a 21 weeker, she weighed only 15 oz (430 grams) when she was born. She has overcome a great many things, primarily her small size.

Bayden was born at 26 weeks and 3 days due to me having an incompetent cervix. He weighed 2 lbs and 2 oz and was 15 1/4 inches long. A week later they ordered a cranial CT and diagnosed him with a grade 3-4 bleed in his brain. He was still doing so well that they didn't think there was gonna be much damage. Then when he was 2 months old he went into surgery for a Nissen Fundoplication and G-Tube.

Ally has faced over 15 surgeries already in her short five years. Her twin sister Katie is doing well and has been a big support and love in her life. Someday we hope and pray that she will join the decannulated group. Ally had her trach placed when she was 5 months old for Laryngomalacia. Ally was in the NICU for five months before she finally came home to us.

Jasmine is the youngest of my four "legal" (vs Foster) kids. She was a 24 week gestation preemie with multiple congenital and acquired medical problems and disabilities. Somehow we, her family, did not see anything except a new baby -though others most certainly did - and let us know it! She was 16 when she died very quickly from a virus. She will always be sorely missed.

Dylan was born with lots of medical conditions and a preemie. He was born at home and transported to Brenner's Children Hospital where he live for 2 years. His major medical problem was renal failure so he was started on dialysis. First it was peritoneal dialysis, then manual dialysis, last was hemo-dialysis. He coded over 17 times, finally he had to get a tracheostomy tube.
