OMG I just saw this thread and I am so sorry for Tia! She is the same age as Shylah and I couldn't even imagine going through this with her. I remember they were closed to the same size only I think Tia stopped growing and Shylah didn't she is almost 4 lbs now. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Tia while she goes through the surgery. Please keep us posted on how you and her are doing. You might think of getting insurance on her after this is all said and done for any future problems she may incur. Sounds like she is very delicate. Starsky and Shylah send lots of hugs and kisses her way!!
