Lauren Went Home on August 1, 2005

At home at last on August 1, 2005, this is precious Lauren Ann at just over 4 lbs. Isn't she the sweetest thing? It was touch-and-go for this little one who weighed in at birth at 1 lb-13 oz and went down to 1 lb-9 0z. But everyone who loved her were praying for her, and with that and her spunky personality, she fought off the infections, respiratory and stomach problems, put on 3 HUGE pounds and sailed through the 2 1/2 month hospital stay to finally land at home with her family in Lincoln Park.
