We have had 2 premature babies. One (Jack) was born at 27 weeks with down syndrom and hydrops and he unfortanately didn't make it more than 20 hours. 6 months later I got pregnant with our 2nd son Noah he was born at 32 weeks weighing in at 3lbs. 3 oz. He was in the NICU for 40 stressful days. I understand what you are going through and I want you to know that I am praying for you daily. What a sweet heart Kayleigh is she is just beautiful. You and your wife seem like amazing people. Just know that you have blessings and prayers coming from us. Good Luck. I can't wait to see the pictures of Kayleigh going home, and don't worry she will. <BR/> <BR/>GinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511754798290820361.post-66142106504784311822008-08-22T04:26:00.000-04:002008-08-22T04:26:00.000-04:00Hello Ms. Kayleigh,I am amazed at how well you hav...Hello Ms. Kayleigh,<BR/><BR/>I am amazed at how well you have been doing. Your weight is just amazing and you looked so cute in your video last night. That paci seems so big for you. But you manage it well.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work. I keep saying that I have a healthy addiction because I follow you everyday just to be sure that all is going okay. I pray for you numerous times a day and I check religiously although I don't always post. <BR/><BR/>Aimee and Adam, <BR/><BR/>I voted for Kayleigh as well as each of you NUMEROUS times. I hope it helps. By the way how is Kayleigh ranking right now? <BR/><BR/>Aimee, you are an amazing woman. You have done such a good job at being the sole provider of food for your baby. I was just telling a friend of mine that I wish I would have know about the pills that would help my milk production. But didn't and gave up way too soon. <BR/><BR/>Best of luck with the weight loss. I will try and keep up with your blog as well. <BR/><BR/>Adam, you are an awesome husband and father. You find a way to juggle your daughter, your step-children, support your wonderful wife and work. You deserve an award for all that you do. <BR/><BR/>You guys are an awesome family. Kayleigh is so lucky to have such parents as yourselves.<BR/><BR/>Jennifer<BR/>jlcampbell2008@yahoo.com<BR/>used to be campbell9023@sbcglobal.netJennifer in NMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07018280413736798365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511754798290820361.post-22405929350143078022008-08-22T00:47:00.000-04:002008-08-22T00:47:00.000-04:00Hi...what a journey..you guys sound like an awesom...Hi...what a journey..you guys sound like an awesome family! With God ALL things are possible! I was actually looking through my emails tonight and followed the Baby Einstein one to the Baby contest because I am so proud of my daughter...today, now that it is am., 8/22/08 my preemie daughter born at 29 weeks and 3lbs 6oz is ONE YEAR OLD!It is by God's Grace that our Gabriella Grace was born and through all the prayers of so many - people who just heard our story and never saw her or know us. Just like this moment, reading your story and Kayleigh's journey is all so familiar... In between tears of hope and joy and remebrance, I'm praying for a little one- another miracle and her family. God made us so compassionate and I pray that Kayleigh continues to inspire and bring people closer to God. I know Gabriella does the same - even today. At church- our church family is amazed Sunday after Sunday of how big Gabby's getting and how healthy the little fighter has become. She came home with her feeding tube, we took her to church the first time this past Easter and by Saturday she had taken her tube out AGAIN and we gave her the bottle - she wolfed down 3 1/2 ounces and never went back to the tube! I had a hard time as well pumping but praise God I was able to use almost all of the breast milk from Aug to Jan -we bought a freezer and all. The surgeon didn't want to even discuss breast milk - Gabs had to gain 20-30 grams a day before we could even speak about that! She did it though!<BR/>Our Amazing Grace had 40% of her small intestines removed at 4 days old and had an osotmy bag for 6 weeks, after being hooked back up it took a while but during the long journey of 5 months in the hospital God used us to touch others, whether to pray for them or with them. It is so important to be there for one another in the NICU. I know because of HIPPA we couldn't share in the NICU but in our "family room" more like a living room, we bonded and supported one another - isn't it amazing that you really can love one another with the Lord in your heart?!<BR/>Kayleigh will forever be in my prayers - I am so happy to have come upon your blog -especially on Gabriella's 1st birthday-see how God works! Keep writing it is so important and helps heal the heartache that comes & goes at times. My husband writes poetry and wrote 2 beautiful poems about Gabriella while in the hospital - God-inspired, and shared with others that touched their hearts and souls - just like your writing. I'm from CT so we're miles apart but your family is in my heart and prayers - I wish you all the best,<BR/>God Bless you guys real good!!<BR/>Stacey_love2teach@msn.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3511754798290820361.post-59533712228852113992008-08-21T23:11:00.000-04:002008-08-21T23:11:00.000-04:00yayy !! i have been following this for the past 3 ...yayy !! i have been following this for the past 3 nights religiously! i just found it 3 days ago and i was hooked, tonight i was actually getting worried the update was soo late...
