Meet Tyler!

You all, this little guy is a real trooper...forget that he's cute as all get out...he's one tough little dude!! This is Tyler...Noah's cousin. He is a 25 weeker...also known as a micro-preemie. He is one little amazing guy to have endured all that he has gone through....

Because he was born so early he has developed a level 3 and level 4 Brain Bleeds, Hydrocephalus which required the placement of a reservoir, an unclosed heart valve (PDA), and stage 3 ROP eye disease with Rush disease.

Tyler's mom, Nancy, writes the most wonderful posts about life with a micro-preemie. You'll find encouragement in her posts...she writes from her heart and that can be a true encouragement to other mothers. In fact, I'm sure that Nancy has been a HUGE encouragement to Noah's mom and to her sister...I'll be introducing them in the next post!


I love this one...

Samuel Travis Lewis

Samuel was born several days ago. He has a hole in his heart that needs to close...I think this may be a PDA but I'm not certain. Gus had a PDA that reopened after his first bout with sepsis and he had to have his closed surgically. As of this morning, the doctor feels like Samuel's hole has closed...further testing will show if that has happened. Please pray for this little guy and for his family too...I know the terrified feeling you have when soemthing is not "right" with your child! I imagine his mommy and daddy are quite worried....
