This makes me cry. This is Riellys second cousin, Bryan and Heathers baby, Leo. He was born at 27 weeks (Rielly was born at 24 weeks), 3 weeks before Rielly on November 14. He was 2.4 pounds at birth. He was not as fortunate as Rielly and has major issues from being born prematurely. He had massive brain bleeds and will most likely have cerebral palsy. He also may be blind and he is not able to tolerate feedings from a bottle like he used to. He has permanent shunts in his brain that so far have caused alot of problems. They keep getting blocked off and he has had 12 brain surgeries so far. He is still in the hospital and has never been able to come home. Remember this baby when you are saying your prayers. It makes me so sad that they aren't able to enjoy him like we do Rielly.
