Douglas gets to meet his Mamaw Judy ...

*This post says its from Melissa but is really from her very proud mother, who got to meet her newest grandson today*

Well my day finally arrived! I got to see my little grandson for the very first time. It was the moment I had been waiting for ever since he was born. I was amazed at the strength that that little one had(and still has).
To me it was an experience of a lifetime to get to watch them take him out of the incubator and place him on his Mom"s (My precious daughter) chest. The smile on her face said it all. That smile and the "aahh" she said ; will be with me always!
But most of all I got to touch his little check and hand with one of my fingers. Now that's what will keep the moment in my heart forever.
He is doing so great and will continue too. "I know and believe this with all of my heart"
I appreciate all the love and support that Mike and Melissa has been getting while all this has been going on. I would like to take this time to thank everyone. " May God bless all".

With All of My Love : Judy(Grandmaw of Little Duggie)

I just read the last few days' posts and am so happy to hear Doug is doing so well. The pics of Mel holding him made me weepy. Glad to hear Clinton is doing better too!

xoxo!

WOW!!! Im SO happy that Douglas is doing so well. My tears are tears of JOY for both of you. You will someday look back on these day and say "He fought And He Won" There is a wonderful purpose for his life.
I still have clear memories of that time back in 1983. My son was born at 2lbs 8oz. He is now a grown man with size 11 shoe!!!LOL
Believe in Miracles and Watch.

A Gift from God


At first glance
you were so small
I hardy saw a baby at all,
with tubes and wires
a frightening sight
but you were in for a
big fight.

Not even two pounds
just skin and bones,
Your body so small
with problems so big,
but you fought hard
and continued to grow.

So many fears
So many tears

You are home now
and growing big
I love you dear,
more than words can say.
A miracle baby
A gift from God.
You showed the world
You showed us all.
