its amazing how far he came along in almost a week. things here have been wonderful. i found out today that the murmur is completely gone. that right there is a blessing in itself. other than that he is excellent. he will be 32 weeks tomorrow and they are getting ready to try him on a bottle soon. it feels wonderful to hold my son for an hour a day (30 mins in the morn and 30 at night) he is up to 3lb and 8 oz so he is getting up there. a couple of nurses in the NICU have started a scrapbook class for us new moms and that is wonderful. God has definately been on our side these past few weeks and hopefully he will come home at christmas...what a wonderful gift for a mommy and a daddy...their baby boy

Thanks for the prayers and the well-wishes

My second year walking

My name is Nicole I had 28 week boy/girl twins, November 3, 2004. My son weighed 2lbs 5.7oz and my daughter weighed 2lbs 5.3oz. My daughter is completely healthy and developing at a normal rate foe her corrected age, but my son on the other hand has been admitted to the hospital 16 times since he left NICU he is in PICU right now on CPAP not doing so well. We live in Jonesborough,TN but we walked last year after starting our own family team and we plan to walk again this year as well. I think Walk America is a wonderful way to raise awareness about preemies and the struggles they face along with their families. I'm sure my story wasn't much help, but if you need to talk I'm here.

    Nicole, I think it's mostly just us. Most of the others that have posted to this thread just have a few posts. I am about half the state west of you, close to Nashville. It does feel lonely. I know there are others out there. I am trying to spread the word about SHARE in our local NICU in hopes to meet more PoPs from the area.

    I know there is one in Memphis at Shelby Farms, I don't know if there's one in Nashville or not. I'd think there would be a seperate one in Nashville but I'm not sure on that.

    Hi Everyone!

    Hi! My name is JoEllen Gilbert. I live in Columbia, TN. I have a 3 year old and a 10 month old. Both were born at 37 weeks (not really pre-term). I had pre-term labor with both. My 2nd, Janie Beth had to spend 3 days in the NICU at Vandy. She was referred to as the big baby at 6 lbs 3oz. I got just a taste of what it is like to have a sick newborn.
    I stay at home and I am also a professional photographer. check out my website at www.gilbertphoto.smugmug.com
