Sadness and Loss
A little over weeks ago, a friend of mine and his wife had their first child together. This little guy was born at 28 weeks. He was actually doing very well for a preemie born at his gestation. A few days ago, he was diagnosed with a digestive complication that occurs in a lot of very early preemies (Necrotizing Enterocolitis). Unfortunately, the infection from this eventually overpowered this little guy, and he lost his battle on Friday. His parents only got to hold him early last week for the first time. A lot of us have been praying for all three of them, that they would get through this. Please, everyone, keep Steve and Nicole in your prayers while they now deal with the loss of their son.

I will certainly be praying for your friends. It is such sorrow for the loss of such a wee one. I have a friend right now with a 25 week little girl fighting for her little life.
My heart goes out to your friend as I sit here going through the same thing. We lost a baby who was born at 20 weeks last June and this June we had a baby born at 24 weeks. He got NEC when he was 11 days old and it caused holes in his intestines. He got very sick and it was a long battle. He was only able to start small feeds on Aug 5th. Now today we found out he has NEC again.. It's a struggle and it breaks my heart that he or any baby has to fight this.
