my daughter


As a mother of a premature child I experienced the fear of not ever being able to bring my daughter home from the hospital. Born 9 weeks early, she was a good size 3 lbs 11oz. She was doing so well the first two days and then the doctor came and told me that my daughter had 2 brain bleeds. The fear that gripped my heart was unbelievable. Would my precious little angel have severe brain damage? Would she have more brain bleeds? Would the brain bleeds correct themselves? Would my daughter survive?
So many questions and fears ran through me.
We were fortunate, my daughter did survive. She is now a vibrant 3 yr old with minor speech and memory issues. She is also my favorite model for my photography.
