ONE year ago

One year ago today at 5am dad and mom were panicking as they drove to the hospital while mom was having labor pains (9 weeks early). We got to the hospital and checked in and the nurse told us we were having this baby dad looked at her and said " It's too early" and"she said well there is nothing we can do to stop it". Moms DR came in about an hour later and told us what was going to happen mom was in so much pain but what she remembers most was her DR. saying that you had a 99% chance of living. (I'm crying typing this) that was the best thing she could hear at that time. Two hours after getting to the hospital she delivered a tiny 4 lb baby boy you cried when you came out and that was such a relief dad cut your cord and they took you away. They brought you back to me 2 hours later to say goodbye so they could take you to the NICU in Murray. Mom remembers your tiny little body with all the wire and oxygen on you as they wheeled you in on the stretcher so she could see you one last time before taking you away. It was the saddest but happiest day of our lives. We are so blessed and happy to have you in our lives Ryder. We love you so much happy 1st birthday.
