Introduction

This is the story of our lives with our little Lily Grace. She was born at 32 weeks 1 day on March 15, 2010 at 11:28 am weighing 4 lbs 6 ozs. Lily was twin A. Her little brother Logan is now an angel in heaven watching over her. He developed Necrotizing Entercolitis (NEC) at 7 days old and passed away. He will always be part of our lives and we will love him forever.

Lily spent 37 days in the NICU. We had a pretty eventful stay. She began life with RDS and was on CPAP for 4 days then stepped down to the nasal cannula for a week. Lily also had a PDA which was successfully closed with 2 rounds of ibuprofen. 2 days before her release we had a NEC scare and were rushed across the street to the children's hospital where the pediatric surgeons were. Luckily it turned out not to be NEC, but a UTI which was treated with antibiotics and 10 days later we were finally home.
