Our litte Isabella was born at 23 weeks weighing 1lb 5 oz and was in the NICU at Bergan Mercy in Omaha, Ne then flown to the NICU at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha where she spent the first 4 months of her life. Isabella had a twin sister, Alexandria, that was born 12 days before Isabella...she was with us for about 2 hours and we miss her terribly each and every day...
