      @Tiffany Ton It's terrible that happened to you, I can't imagine what it must be like to lose someone that close to you and that young. But demanding why has never solved anything..I've learned it's best to live in acceptance with loss and not in spite of it. Know you and your family be in all of our thoughts

    Thank you for posting such beautiful and inspiring vidwo. I am a father of baby daughter who was born in 25 weeks recently. She suffered from Necrotizin Enterocolotis (NEC). She had part of her instine removed but then she got serious blood infection. She got 10 day heavy antibiotic treatments. She was growing and getting better until she got cold in which the doctors could not give her medication to treat the common cold. She is now critically stable.What breaks my heart is that I sometimes cannot travel to see because I cannot avoid gas. She is in another city, almost 80 miles from my home town and hope we will overcome this difficult situation.

      dominique de guzman she is physically normal and behind in school. But she picks up things slowly at own time. She can math like addition, subtraction now but at one point it seemed impossible. Thankfully no surgeries, or immunity issues. She is a strong child. Easily gets distracted, cannot focus too long and overwhelmed by crowds but slowly things are changing.
