Allow me to share with you a little story about a baby named Corinne. She is 4 weeks old and was born with a large hole in her tiny//powerful heart. Unfortunately the complications grew worse when Corinne was diagnosed with Zellwegers. She has spent her time thus far with her loving parents, Ryan and Emily Moll, in the Little Rock Children's Hospital and was just recently transported back to NWA to stay in the NICU at Washington Regional. As of Tuesday... Corinne has 5-10 days left as her body is not strong enough to undergo heart surgery.
I don't know what to say//write... my heart goes out to Ryan, Emily, Evan {big bro}, and Corinne. Through the emails we've received, Emily sounds in good spirits and wants their time with Corinne to be very happy. Her colors are violet//orange... sweet.
This happens so close to the devastation of Baby Miller Woodruff. My mind can't help but compare the two... because of this Emily and Miller's mama are now in contact. Friends going through similar life experiences in the same area within the same time period... I hope they can use each other for strength, love, and an outlet.
As in Miller's story, I pray for Ryan and Emily's incredible strength... and Evan's understanding for he is so young. Again I have few words for this is something so far beyond my realm... something I can't understand but will learn from as I did from Miller. Corinne is a blessing not only to her family but to others... she has and will touch many lives.
So I ask of you... share this if you will because the power of prayer is beyond measure and much appreciated in times like this. If you don't pray... think//wish//hope. For those mothers out there... squeeze your babies a little tighter for you are blessed.
Ryan, Emily, Evan, and Corinne... you are in our hearts.

Tess, I just don't know what to say. I can't imagine the pain this family is feeling. I am sending them love. I am just so very sorry.
Thanks for posting this sweet story in your blog. Emily is my niece and is such a good mommy! I know she and Ryan have showered kisses and tender love on little Corinne in her brief life. And you're right, Corinne is touching many lives across this country and will continue to influence our family as long as we live. Blessings to you.
Tess
