Emma Arrives

Emma was born on August 5, 2005 at 17:44. At only 24 weeks, she weighed in at 678 grams. As I watched, she arrived, lifted her tiny arm, and was ever so gently scooped up by the waiting NICU nurse and resident. Rushed to the NICU, she was intubated, and when I saw her a few minutes later she was a reassuring pink colour, and moving her arms and legs as if to say ,"Ok folks, I'm here!".

A belated Congratulations on the birth of Emma.

My son was born at 27 weeks and spent 3.5 months in hospital due to many complications. I could only imagine how much harder it would have been for you and your family at 24 weeks.

Emma is looking fantastic, happy and healthy! Well done.
