I've always been thankful for doctors, nurses and modern medicine since my first daughter was born via C-section. If we hadn't been so blessed by the staff at the hospital, I would have likely walked out of there without my wife and my daughter, and never had our second daughter. Since that day I have a real hard time hearing about situations like yours without getting choked up.

You and your family are in my prayers. I do hope that it turns out OK for her. No matter how it turns out, it's important for you and your family to appreciate what a special person she is. Some times a person's impact on the world isn't measured by how long they are here, but by how they were able to touch people's hearts, and bring people together. It sounds like your niece has already accomplished more then many of us.

Your niece and family are in our prayers. In her short 6 months on earth so far, she's definitely touching hearts and lives, not only your family and close friends, but people all over the world.

Please, keep us updated!

Has a few things going for her
#1-She is a girl, infants and neonate girls do better than boys, stronger. Ask any NICU nurse.
#2-Little babies are a lot tougher than you think they are.
#3-She is in the US, no matter how much people may bash our healthcare, it is outstanding for stuff like this.

I hear you there! Our daughter was born via emergency c-section due to fetal-distress, and I consider myself lucky everyday I get to hold her!

It's really tough on my wife right now, as she is still is school (ya, I married young the second time). If we could, we would fly out there in a second, but this is her last semester before her student teaching... Leave it to a major college to not allow for "family leave"!! All we can do at this point is hope for the best. It truely sucks being half way across the county from family!

Here is a pic of me holding little Rori a couple of months ago when we were out there visiting. You cant get a much better pic... a little Irish girl being held in front of a Guinness shirt




Our family thanks all of our fellow Pelicans for your thoughts and prayers!!
