Les is more Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I recently got a note from Ralph in Oklahoma letting me know that his daughter Diana (Dee) was rushed to the hospital where they had to take her baby at just 26 weeks. Ralph said, Dee is OK so far, and it is touch & go for the baby right now. 2.2lbs, and 14" long. Doc said if they did not take it out now, both would not make it. She is at Deaconess hospital & the baby (Anna Elizabeth) is across the freeway at Baptist NICU. Dad is a wreck right now. It appears that Dee is fine and baby Anne is still fighting. The latest message says, Baby Anna has to have a line put into her heart tomorrow to get meds into her. Surgeon says No big deal, We do it all the time. Her arm is swollen and they think it is either broke or twisted. They will X ray or whatever they do also. Poor baby is having a rough time being born! She has to stay there for around three months. Here are pictures of little Anna Pictures I'm sure that Ralph and his family would welcome your prayers and good wishes. Link to comment

Ralph Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Just a quick note to say how much I appreciate all the posts of well being for my daughter & grand daughter. So far, it is still a fight for her, but things have not fallen backward, but moved ahead. She does have a broken right arm and has had a line inserted to keep meds going in without having to keep sticking her. almost all the bruising is gone now. She will have to stay there for around 12 weeks they say. Below is a link to a few pics. She is a week old now. still just a few grams over two pounds. http://ralph.smugmug.com/gallery/5250143_oeLCB Link to comment
