This is the story of Lucy, delivered 10 weeks premature, weighing only 2lbs. She was born with Downs Syndrome and multiple congenital heart defects, spending 75 days in the NICU. She has underwent two open heart surgeries in August 2009 and June 2010 to repair her Atrioventricular (AV) Canal Defect, Ventricular septal defect, double outlet right ventricle, mitral valve and extra superior vena cava. We hope she touches your heart as much as she has touched ours.

Wow, this picture is amazing... I spent 113 days in NICU and PICU with my daughter but I never looked at a little preemie up close (didn't want to seem rude, afraid of germs, you know how it is.)
She is so perfect and she has grown so much since then!
