I Dedicate This Page in the Rememberance of my First Born
Amberleigh Breana Howell
May 4,1993-July 11,1993
She came to us on May 4,1993, at 12:12pm.(After 24hrs of labor). She weighed 7lbs and 12ozs (big baby huh?) and was 20inches long. She was the most beautiful baby that I had ever seen. She had a head full of jet black hair and her eyes were green. When the Doctor said "It's a girl" I looked at Michael and said "Is he sure". We were expecting her to be a boy, Boy did she fool us. We had to stay in the hospital for 3 days because we both had an infection. Her daddy only got to spend that one day after she was born with her. He had to leave to go to boot camp.
She was a very good baby.Only fussing when she was hungry.Her daddy got to come home when she was 5 wks because I had to have gallblader surgery. He only got to stay for a week then he was back to bootcamp.
On June 30,1993 we found out the awful news that our baby had Leukimia. I thought my world was gonna end. She had to stay in the hospital over night. Michael made it home that night. The next day we took her to St. Jude children research Hospital. When we got there they said that they would do everything they could but not to get our hopes up because she was so small and was not strong at all.She made it 11 more days then here little lungs could not take anymore. On July 11, 1993 the Lord took her to live with him. Her Daddy only got to spend 16 days with her the whole 9 weeks she was alive. I sometimes feel bad because I had more time with her but there are thing that we can't help. I wish she She was here I wonder what she would look like, rather she would be good in school and all the things I missed out on with her.
Love Always,
Momma,Daddy,Brittany,Suzi,Lauren and all your grandparents
