NOTE: Update, good news & new photo on page 7!!
======================================
Hi:
This is, first and foremost, a business community. And yet, wouldn't every victory be empty without loved ones to share it with? Every sorrow heavier without loved ones to pick us up and cheer us on?
With that, I ask for your prayers and good thoughts for my family.
My niece was due to have twins on January 29, 2007. On October 15, she went into labour prematurely at only 26 weeks. The doctors were unable to stop the labour. She delivered twin baby girls that weighed only 1.5 and 1.7 pounds.
So much pain and agony. So many tears. My niece is like a second daughter to me. If I could bear this pain for her, I would in a heartbeat. No question.
The doctors give the babies very low odds. 5%. And yet, one week later, they are still fighting for their little lives. I am including a photo. Kassie (1.7 lbs) is wearing the green hat. Lena (1.5 lbs) is wearing the striped hat.
That's their Mommy and Daddy's hands above and below so you can see how small they are. So, so tiny, and fighting for their lives.
If you could say a prayer for them, or send good thoughts their way, it would be very appreciated.
Linda
