    Nancy's Family Album

    Liam and Jamie Riley

     

    Nancy,

       You are truly an inspiration to me.  Little did I know as I followed the progress of you and your two beautiful twins, that I would be faced with a similar fate.  A year ago, while I was three months pregnant with my third child, I was struck with devastating news.  I was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy with pulmonary edema.   I was told that the chances of me and baby suriving were very small.  In my heart I knew we would both be ok and while I was a struggling over my decision of what to do, I saw a show you did for your twins first birthday and I knew then to follow my heart and continue with the pregnancy.  Liam Aidan was born January 19, 2009 by emergency c-section 14 weeks early.  He weighed 1 lb and 8 oz.  We have a had a long road to get to where we are now.  At nine months now, he weighs 15 pounds, if off oxygen and monitors and looks like a normal healthy, happy baby!  Thank you my friend, for sharing your story and giving me hope.
