Every year 275,000 preterm babies are born in the United States. Emily Eaton Butterfield arrived 15 weeks early, weighing one pound eleven ounces. Active and alert, Emily fought to live but developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) that destroyed her intestines. She lived 53 days. This moving story written by Emily's mother shows that courage can come in very small packages.

Wee Angel Wear is designed with adjustable elastic holders. These holders prevent lead wires from dislodging and setting off alarms, especially when the baby is held. A front opening panel flap allows wires attached to the upper torso to exit the sides of the sleeper rather than out of the middle front or neck of the sleeper. Cuff openings allow access to upper extremities for checking IV sites easily. Crotch openings allow access to lower extremities.
