Nicole had pre-eclampsia and Kenna had to be born way too early. Earlier than most of us really wanted. If we could we had hoped for another week but when the health of mom and baby are in danger the time becomes now. Nicole and Sam now have a long journey ahead of them raising a preemie. Kenna was born weighing only 9 ounces and being only 9.5 inches long. Yesterday was her birthday. Its a miracle that Kenna has made it through the night.
To read more about Nicole and her journey read her two blogs:

ReplyDeleteNo, no, no! Rebecca, I'm so very sorry for your family. I'll definitely be keeping Kenna and her mommy and daddy in my thoughts and prayers. Can I ask, how many weeks gestation is she? She's so very tiny...

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that is so scary. I am glad mom and baby made it through the night. I will be praying for them both and keeping them in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update, Rebecca. The good news is that little Kenna is within the "viability" range, thank God. That means the medical professionals are required to do everything they can for her. I'll keep prayin'!!
