Preslee Christine York

This is Preslee before her surgery with her Grandpa.

Jami, Matt & big sister Adi!

This is an awesome story of how God takes care of his children. Read it and you will be encouraged.

Jami (Preslee's mommy and one of my bestest friends in the world) went in for a "fun" ultra sound in her 32nd week of pregnancy. They found that the small intestine was bigger than it should be (which could be linked to many things...down syndrome, spinal bifida, etc). They chose to wait a few weeks to see if it would correct itself. Monday the 20th she went back in to have another ultra sound and the intestines were even larger. So they did an amnio to see if Preslee's lungs were developed which they weren't and gave Jami steroids so that they would develop quickly which they did. Jami was induced Tuesday night, was able to sleep through the night, was put on pitocin in the morning, they broke her water but Preslee wasn't doing well after the Jami would have a contraction. So they did a C-section and Preslee was born around 12:00. She was 6 lbs 6oz and she is beautiful! She was quickly checked out on the outside and any chromosomal issues were all ruled out...she was perfect. X-rays and other tests showed that her lower intestine was still large so she was off to the surgical table for over 2 hours. They discovered that her big intestine and her small intestine were not connected. So they fixed it! And she should be A-OK! We went to see her and Jami today and they are both doing really well. Preslee will probably be in the NICU for 2-3 weeks depending on how well her body recovers. Please pray for the York's. They are doing incredibly well and are so thankful to the Lord for his goodness in their lives, for Preslee's life. Pray that Jami would heal quickly from the C-section and that she would have the energy to get through the next few weeks.

Congratulations Matt, Jami & Adison and welcome little Preslee...we love you guys!
