Wow, what a day!!! We got to the hospital at 5am, and by 8am we had our Claire. She weighs 3 lbs 6oz. To look at her, you will not even know she has any problems. She is BEAUTIFUL. What a Miracle. The Medical team said we should bring our Priest in immediately. NO time to lose. She was very blue, not breathing properly, and had a heart rate dropping fast. We took a few last pictures, had a Baptism, and just held her close. The staff wanted to know if I wanted to continue to hold her, or should they take her.

Within 4-5 minutes, all apparent bodily functions began working properly. She got pink (which is good), and appears normal and healthy. She still has Trisomy-18 . We are still told we will be lucky to have her 2-3 months. They should realize we are already lucky, she has already beat all odds.

Mom is doing GREAT too!
