Welcome Alannah!

Posted by Jessica Singletary on November 7, 2009

Alannah

Alannah Gracyn-Reese Cain  was born Tuesday, November 3rd @ 6:58 p.m. weighing 5 pounds and 12 ounces and 19 inches long. Mom, Lisa, said she’s was doing very well.  She had her repair surgery yesterday and are weaning her off of meds now. They are going to try and remove her off of the vent on Monday!  All was up but the liver and about an inch of colon. Her left lung was severely compromised but the right is full & strong. 

Lisa said that she added Reese to her name in honor of her grandmother Ree and Parker!  What a tribute to Parker!!!  We are so happy to report that Alannah is holding her own.  We’ll keep you updated on her condition.  So far the family has no blog or carepage. 

Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers!

Penny Noell is an amazing photographer in the Triangle who offers “Birth Story” photography which documents the entire labor and delivery process and is absolutely stunning!  Penny has offered her services free of charge to families staying at Parker’s House!  This will mean so much to these families as some of them may not go home with their children and for many of us our pictures are all we have left.  We are extremely proud to announce our partnership with Penny Noell Photography and to be able to offer this service to families calling Parker’s House “home”. 

Please take a look at some of the Birth Stories Penny has done.  You’ll need some kleenex!
