Due to pre-eclampsia (aka toxemia), Alan was not
being well nourished and ultrasounds revealed that
his abdominal cavity was lagging in development by
5 weeks compared to his head. The perinatalogist
recommended inducing labor immediately, so we returned
home from the doctor's office, packed up, and hustled
over to Los Robles Hospital. My doctor sent us there,
despite not being on staff, because of the NICU. She
called a colleague who was on staff to attend me.
Alan John was born 6 weeks early on January 28, 2000.

didn't need the tube anymore.
Is it a smile? Alan was still in the NICU here. I went at least twice each day to cuddle

allowed to come home.
