Prematurity Awareness Day

November 12th was Prematurity Awareness Day

This is a subject very near and dear to our hearts. As many of you know, Kyle was a micro-preemie. He was born at just 25 weeks, weighing 1 lb. 10 ozs., and a mere 12 inches long at birth. He was such a little fighter and he never gave up. Looking back at it now it was all quite scary. Kyle has come such a long way in his three plus years and he is doing great! Everyday we read stories of other preemies having long term heath issues and serious daily struggles. We are so thankful knowing things could have been much much worse for us.

We ask that you please take a minute to visit the March of Dimes site to see the Premature Birth Report Card and to sign the Petition for Preemies . Help spread the word about this tragic epidemic. You can also read the MSN article on this subject.

Thank you for your time; we thank you, Kyle thanks you, and the families of preemies around the country thank you.
