Sad News

I got a phone call early Saturday morning from a friend with horrible news. She called and thanked me for sending Cate's preemie clothes to her. In the next sentence she said, "Ella didn't make it". Her sweet baby girl passed away on Friday. She got an infection, necrotising enterocolitis (NEC), the same infection Cate had. It sounds like things quickly went downhill. Ella was born at 26 weeks gestation in early March with a twin brother, Evan, that died at birth. Please say a prayer for my friends Mary and Brett. I can not imagine their grief. I thank God everyday for my little miracle. I do not want to ever take for granted how blessed we have been. I have been squeezing Cate a little tighter since I got the sad news.
