He wasnt due until September 8th.<BR/>Landon had a Grade III brain hemorrhage after his birth and now we are looking at a shunt surgery within the next week.<BR/>Landon weighed almost 2 lbs when he was born but now he weighs 4 lbs and 4 oz. God is trully amazing.<BR/>We are hoping that after Landons surgery he will get to come home within the month. he still has to learn to drink out of a bottle and maintain his body temp. He has been in a hospital an hour and a half away since the day he was born and since hes so far away and gas is so expensive- we only see him twice a week. Please pray for our family- you are in my prayers as well. <BR/>Whitney is so beautiful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124769783002262928.post-944467457492464182008-06-28T13:51:00.000-04:002008-06-28T13:51:00.000-04:00I am the proud mother of a beautiful girl with an ...I am the proud mother of a beautiful girl with an l-4/l-5 defect. She is currently 6 months old and is soon headed for an aggressive round of surgeries to fix a cyst near the top of her spinal cord. No one has ever said anything about my daughter other then to comment on her beauty. She is amazing and worth every hurdle we have to jump, I wouldn't change a thing about her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124769783002262928.post-47357129674464790112008-06-18T20:01:00.000-04:002008-06-18T20:01:00.000-04:00My name is Rebecca Welker.

I know God will give you the grace to say the appropriate things to those that are "uneducated" and insensitive. I know we have learned many things thru our adoption of Denis at an older age as he was. First you may be stunned and then God will give you insight and wisdom on kind responses to reply back about your daughter. We will pray that He gives you just the right words at just the right time. Oh the Lord has great plans for this precious little miracle of yours! May you continue to see His hand in your lives with each new day.<BR/>Praying for you often! (hoping you feel those prayers with each new day!) In Christs love, Melody and John Timmerman and all our kids that pray each day for Whitney!
