A week ago, I read an article about a couple in Kentucky that like me, had a twin molar pregnancy. Abby, the mother, had to deliver her baby at 27 weeks due to preeclampsia. Campbell, her baby girl, weighed in at only 13 oz. (Lucas was 2 lbs. 11 oz.). The doctors declared her dead at birth and passed her over to her father, Nelson to hold. Campbell then began to cry. Her cries grew louder and louder until the doctors took her and placed her in neonatal intensive care. She did well for ten days, and then on Friday, took a turn for the worse. I read today (on her mother's facebook page) that she died early this morning. They are strong in their faith and know that Campbell is now in heaven.
Please pray for Abby, Nelson, and the rest of their family. It is never easy to lose a child, especially one that was a miracle to begin with. All we can do is pray for strength and comfort.
Stories like this remind us of the miracle of Lucas! He continues to thrive. He is now over 10 months old and over 21 lbs.! He is now getting over his first illness (he went 1o whole months without any sickness!) and starting to crawl.
We are blessed by your prayers, support, and love. God is awesome!

My sister's sister in law, Ashley's little girl Lucy did the exact same thing when she was born. The doctors thought she was dead too.
Lucy made it though. :)
