Welcome.

This is the story of our daughter Emma. Her story begins with a rare birth defect called Gastroschisis. This space is dedicated to the days before her birth and the many that are sure to follow.

Post surgery

In the NICU lobby waiting for Emma to come back from the OR.
Dr. Rice has done it again. Emma's opening was small and he said she did great! The bowel is still inflamed, but he believes she is well on the way to a successful recovery. He fashioned a belly button that will take 6 months to heal. First, it will take 7-14 days of rest. Next, they try to feed her, and if all is well with eating then it's time to come home! We're waiting to see her and she should be here any minute.
