Hi ~

This little guy was born at 23.5 weeks and weighing only 1 lb 8 oz ~ he needs all the prayers he can get! Mom is in my cluster group here in MN ~ they live in Prior Lake and driving up to St. Cloud almost daily to see their little man (it is about 1.5 hours up there).

Prayers for this little guy! I have a cousin who had a baby boy over 7 yrs ago at 24 weeks and 1 lb 7 oz and he's doing great! It's amazing what is available for preemies nowadays.
 
He can make it for sure! My hubby was born at 24 weeks, about 1 1/2 lbs, 50 years ago! He's now over 6' and rather "healthy". With all the prayers and medical support he'll be growing and strenthening by the hour. Will be saying prayers for him and his mom & dad.
 
Posted on her page. Our early one was 1lb 15 ozs. It's an experience you never forget and in the moment don't know how you'll get through. Lots of ups and downs. Our million dollar miracle turns 10yrs Aug. 7th. Praying she gets her miracle too!
 
My 3rd cousin is still in NICU, born 15 weeks early, but she just graduated to the 2nd level NICU. She's doing amazingly well! Hopefully this little guy will do well too.They were asking for ideas on how to defray the medical costs. Since you have a connection with them, did you offer a Pampered Chef fundraiser? ;)
 
Wow! Will be praying for this little fella and his family.

I sure did Sheila! The mom is also a PC consultant so we may try to set something up through her personal website so she gets the commission, otherwise, I will do it all and then give her the commission towards the medical costs :)Karen
