Fight for Preemie

It all begin in a bond of love for each other, that a beautiful gift from God would enter their lives. The gift was just that, a little gift. The little one was coming early and the doctor could not be reached at the local hospital. From there, they traveled on to a bigger more advanced hospital. The baby was born and whisked away without a glimspe to the parents. The parents soon would learn that they were parents of a very small baby girl. She weighted in at 3lbs 5oz and was born with a defect that needed to be handled immediately. If she would have been any earlier or born at the local hospital she would not have made it. She was in the hospital for three months following the birth and intensive surgery. You see she was born with a defect called Gastroschisis. In 1979this was not a common defect and the advances in technology were not there. The Doctor of deliver assumed that she would always have gastro (stomach) issues and that she might not live that long with the complications this contained. For months, anytime she cried or laughed after drinking milk would squirt from the holes that were healing from all the feed tubes uses to keep the baby strong and healthy. To this day, she has carried and delivered two very healthy and normal children and has one of the strongest stomachs a person can have. It has never restricted her in sports or activities... and she loved to show off her belly that had no belly button.
She still does to a few special and close friends. She favorite song is the Belly Button song by the Veggie Tales. YouTube video of songI am Texose and this is my birthstory.

Somewhere out there is a preemie that may not survive. In the early 1900s many did not make it because they require such love, care, and advanced medical care. Please help us get the awareness out as they are fighting everyday... for life...

****DO YOU KNOW JESUS BECAUSE HE KNOWS YOU. God knows every hair on your head (Luke 12:6-8 NIV:Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies[a]? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows), and he gave his only son for you John 3:16 KJV-For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.)
