| Tommy came into the world 20 minutes after Samantha. He weighed 1 pound 12 1/2 ounces & was 13 inches long. He had a very rough start, much worse than his sister. The following pictures show how he beat the odds. |

| After 118 days in the NICU I went home. I weighed 5 pounds 8 ounces & was 17 inches long. They never thought I'd make it. I guess I showed them! |
| Psalm 139:13-16 |
| You formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mother's womb. I praise you, so wonderfully you made me; wonderful are your works! My very self you knew; my bones were not hidden from you, When I was being made in secret, fashioned as in the depths of the earth. Your eyes forsaw my actions; in your book all are written down; my days were shaped, before one came to be. |
