Hi my names Amanda im 19 years old n live near toronto..So heres the story... we found out i was pregnant in April, at 10 weeks, my first ultrasound we were stunned to find out i was having twins.. it was'nt untill 26 weeks that i found out they were girls!! 6 days later to my surprise i went into labour and had an emergency c section and had my beautiful gurls alana(oct 17th 12:14am) weighing 960grams and Alexis(oct 17th 12:15am) 1024grams. they were imediatley seen by a team from sick kids, and 6 long hours later they were finnally brought into my room were i saw them for the 1st time for 2 minutes before they were taken to Womens college down town. where they stayed and a day n a half later i was finnally transfered down there so i could see my little gurls. we went from watching them lose weight to gaining weight, being on many different machines to off them than back on.. starting and stoping increaseing and decreasing their tube feedings from only being to "hand hug" or touching them to finnaly being able to hold our little gurls... On nov 17th our daughter alexis, who was increasingly geting healthyer by the day took a turn for the worst and got very sick.. to the drs surprise she was able to fight and semi stabalize herself enough to be transfered to Sick Kids where she fought her hardest but sadly passed away Monday November 19th in our arms, surronded by loving family members. it was the hardest day of our lives and we miss her more than words could say but in our hearts she'll remain forever! With our other daughter still at womens college made it very difficult, although harder than ever we managed to stay as strong as possible for her. She started growing stronger and stronger as each day went by, she was finnaly moved up to a level two nursery where we got to do much more with her, change her diapers, weigh her, hold her bath her. after a week or so there she was transfered to Centenery hospital where she remained untill she was able to completely eat on her own. on New years eve we were finnaly able to bring our little miracle home after the longest 68 days of our lives.

My name is Terri I`m 20 years of age. I was 7 months so i was 30 weeks when my water broke around 5:30 a.m. that morning. My due date was July 27, 2007, but I had her May 27, 2007. My Little Angel S`Naya was 2lbs 6oz. S`Naya stayed in the NICU for 1 month and just turn 8 months January 27, 2008 and said her first word the same day, Da-Da. I went to use the bathroom, so I wiped myself I didn`t know what was going on, I called my mother and tode her that something was leaking from me so she was like, girl your water has broken and I didn`t have sex that night either. They took me to the hospital so they give me some steroids to develop my bady lungs, so they shipped me to another hospital where they have special care for premmie, but I stayed in the hospital for like 4 days before I had her. I wasn`t worried at all because they say IF YOU GONE WORRIED NO NEED TO PRAY. Thank God for my healthy baby there wasn`t no problem with her at all.

I am a mom of a baby with BPD/CLD,with a trach and ventilator and oxygen dependent, on a feeding tube and with visual impairments. We miscarried our first child and had Ashlyn almost three years ago. She was born at 27 weeks after surviving 11 weeks in a dry womb. She was in the hospital for 13 months before we were able to take her home. My objective is to help other parents and caregivers of children on vents and maybe form a sort of support group.
