We lost one of them - he was just too sick to survive. But the other 2 spent months in hospital being cared for. <br />I'll never forget the day A was allowed home from hospital for 8 hours; we chased up there to see him! 2.5 years later, they both run around like little hooligans, and to look at them you'd never know of theur horrendous beginning. <br />It's testament to the dedication of people like you, that the little boy in this post and my cousin's 2 boys can say "Thank you for my life". Know also that the thanks come from parents and extended family too. You do not only "save" the child, you save a family and friends too. Godspeed you all.Jabulanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12847825459654555235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-979835029646512640.post-47519785791868302902008-09-20T21:19:00.000-07:002008-09-20T21:19:00.000-07:00Thanks for this post, Lisa.

It was always so awesome when these little premies who'd come in just out of NICU with oxygen and apnea monitors for monthly Synagis would then come in when they were 2 or 6 or however many years old and it would just blow you away, that you'd not even know at that point the start they'd had in life. I now work as a case manager for children with special health care needs - all those kids needing open heart surgeries and such. I very much like that distinction between saving a life and a life - so very true indeed.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18112495156197262420noreply@blogger.com
