It’s that time of year again; the Jones Family will be walking in our 3rd March for Babies on Sunday, April 27th. As the parents of two preemies, Justin, our 24 week miracle and Nathan, our 35 week wonder, this is something that is obviously near and dear to our hearts. Before having the boys, we simply thought of a preemie as a small baby, not realizing all the difficulties that preemies, let alone micro preemies like Justin, may face. Little did we know we’d be catapulted into preemie land: oxygen, ROP, reflux, developmental assessments, physical & occupational therapy and the list goes on and on. Just recently Justin was diagnosed with a cognitive impairment and will spend his kindergarten year in a special education program. Whether or not that can be attributed to his prematurity we’ll never know. But I’m reaching out to you guys because you’ve been with us from the beginning and know firsthand what we’ve dealt with the last 5 ½ years. So if it fits into your charitable giving this year, please consider donating to Team Love Jonez in our quest to ensure that all babies are born healthy.
