Happy Birthday 7/15/06

Emmie Rose
was born on 7/15/06. Waaay ahead of schedule!

She arrived at 23 weeks, 17 weeks early, Very premature.
She weighed 1 Pound 5 ounces.
11 3/4 inches long.

The clinical statistics for 23 week old babies are not very good.
But our faith is strong and we trust the Lord will see her thru!

She is on a preemie breathing machine and breathing somewhat on her own and some
assisted by the machine. The major concern is Bleeding on the Brain right now.
She will be in the NICU for several weeks.
The doctors are not saying too too much and taking it hour by hour.
She seems to be a little fighter and We are praying for the best!

The doctors still do not know why Stephanie went into labor this afternoon so suddenly.

Stephanie called me from work Friday afternoon saying something is wrong.
I picked her up from work and we went straight to the hospital.
She was having contractions... two minutes apart.
