Thanks for looking!
Twenty years ago my son was born 9 weeks early. At 5 1/2 weeks he weighed a whooping 2 lbs 13 ozs. Thanks to our wonderful nicu here in Grand Rapids Mi he is now a sophmore in college on his way to a degree in programing. I still have the quilt that the local guild made for him and also the doll clothes that he wore during his 4 1/2 month stay. (Thank God for cabbage patch kids, their clothes came closest to fitting him). We have a program called Rocking Grandparents that I can't wait to join now that I am retired, I also hope to be able to donate clothes like the ones you make and quilts to the unit also.
