Destinee's Story

Destinee Moneeque Hollins

I moved to Texas to get married October 17, 2003. I developed severe toxsimia. I went into the hospital October 20 at only 26 weeks pregnant. They kept me there and watched me to see if Id get better and I never did. Destinee's heartbeat was irregular so they decided to deliver her via emergency c section. They took me in on Oct 26th and delivered her. She weighed only 2lbs. 2 ozs. and was just 14 inches long. She could fit in my husbands hand. She was in the hospital till December 15 but she did get to come home for Christmas.

She is now 1 year old and weighs only 20 lbs. She is still really tiny but has a huge attitude!
