Baby update: Lina and Tamara
21 February 2012
Lina and Tamara Auguste came to visit us today. They started out at 3 lb 8 oz and 3 lb 10 oz in July 2010. They are now happy healthy 19 month olds. Jonise, their mom, brought me a gift of 10 eggs as a thank you but the biggest blessing was seeing them run around and play. Praise the Lord.

Yet to be named
6 December 2011
Update: She now has a name, Chinayda. The photo of her getting a bath was taken shortly before she went home with her parents.

Some of you have already heard about the little preemie we've been caring for this past month. We call her Ange or Missy or just sweet thing. Her parents haven't named her yet. She was born Sept 23 and we got her on the 24th. She weighed 2 lb 5.5 oz and was 29 weeks gestation. She's now up to 3 lb 12 oz and growing great. We're working with her mother to help her start taking over her care so she'll be ready to go home when she gets to 5 lb. We think that will be in about 3 more weeks.Click on thumbnail images to view larger images / slideshow.

Benjamin
April 2011
The most recent infant we cared for was born March 15 weighing 3 lb 11 oz. His family couldn't take care of him and asked for help. His aunt asked if we would give him back when he was 6 months old. I was quick to assure her that his stay with us wouldn't last that long. We've nicknamed him Benjamin. He looked like a little old man – his skin was dry and baggy and full of wrinkles. He'll be a big baby when he fills out his skin. He went home after 2 weeks weighing 4 lb 10.5 oz. He's continued to improve and do well.
