• My preemie turns 5 today

  Today my preemie is turning 5. So today I am taking a look at pictures from the past 5 years.

  born on 7/31/2002 at 9:57pm

  Birth Weight: 5 Pounds 12 ounces

  Birth Height: 18 1/2 inches

  Chest: 11 inches

  At
  8/1/02 8:30 am due to the length that he had been fighting with his
  lungs, he was transferred by ambulance from Ephrata Community Hospital
  to Lancaster General Women and Babies Hospital.

  Upon
  arriving at the Lancaster Women and Babies Hospital the hospital had
  decided to use nose plugs to put oxygen in to his system but around
  1:30 am they decided to place him on a breathing support machine so he
  did not have to work so hard. The Tube was inserted.

  Tuesday
  8/6 He finally came off of the ventilator. That was the first that we
  got to hold him. I held him for over two hours before I finally let
  daddy have a chance. I didnt want to put him down.
