I would have gladly given anything including my own life in exchange for my son's life. We called friends and relatives and asked them to pray for our son. I will always believe it was a miracle. The nurses told us that by the time he arrived from Brokaw Hospital in Bloomington, IL, he was breathing normally. The best sound I have ever heard was the first time my son was strong enough to cry.
Preemies sleep a lot.
That is all Luke did for several days. We could hardly keep him awake to feed him. We called him Flash for quite some time because all Flash, the Duke's dog, ever did was sleep too. I have had a big part in my kids lives and it has been intentional. When Luke was born I was an over the road truck driver.
