This hit very close to home! Like Griffin, I was born premature at 26 weeks too. I weighed 1.5 lbs and I was in the hospital for 4 months due to surgeries. Here I am almost 20 years old and am so blessed to be alive. This video brought me to tears! Griffin is so so strong and has such an amazing future ahead of him! It’s so heart warming to see him smile, giggle and enjoy life! He is a fighter! God bless you and your family!! 🤍

This made me cry so hard. Griffin, I'm beyond happy that you made it and seeing you jumping, running, dancing, singing in joy makes my heart burst with gratitude, relief and humility. Lauren, you've got my deepest respect. Your love is the source of Griffins strength. Same goes to the dad of course. I don't know neither of you personally but you all touch my heart. I wish you a beautiful, joyful, sunny life. Always know you're protected and cared for. ❤

I'm currently in a really tough situation at 20 weeks pregnant. I walked into my ultrasound with so much excitement as we were going to see baby and find out the gender. However this took a quick turn when the I was informed my cervix was dilated and my water membrane sac was seen bulging thru. This meant the water sac could break anytime and I would have to go into labor. I came across your video and I cried a lot but also this has given me so much hope. As you mentioned, with the uncertainty of what can happen there is always hope of what can be. I'm currently taking it easy and praying my water doesnt break and we can reach a point where baby can be helped once he comes. Thank you for sharing your amazing story of baby Griffin. This has truly given me courage and more strength for my own journey.

I know the feeling of fear. Mine was found to be brain dead at 26 weeks. She only developed half a brain. Her heart was beating, but she wasn’t Alive. I chose to abort the pregnancy because I knew carrying a doomed pregnancy to term would destroy me. Sure enough, her skull collapsed when I pushed her out. She died three hours later. I hope yours fares so much better than mine did.

I cried! It was very emotional. You gave so much love to this baby. I hope your son will always be by your side. I watched your videos about your preterm babies about 4 month ago when I was in nicu with my baby girl. She was born at 32 weeks. I got admitted to the hospital at 25 weeks and was on bed rest until she was born. I was also diagnosed with Covid when admitted and the doctor said that could of been the reason for the preterm labor. There was so much uncertainty. I prayed. Thats all I could do. Today my baby girl Sarah is home with us. She is a beautiful miracle baby. I am so happy that your kids won the battle! You have a beautiful family!

I'm 27 weeks pregnant, we conceived through IVF, and found out at 24 weeks our baby was experiencing growth restrictions. At 26 weeks and a half my water broke and found a new issue with my placenta being oddly shaped. Unfortunately we still have no conclusive answers as to why this is happening I still remain in the hospital with hopes baby girl will make it to 34 weeks. We monitor her daily along with ultrasounds and she is doing great. You and your beautiful son are such a huge inspiration to all us women going through this. Thank you

I chose to abort the pregnancy so I could begin the grieving process sooner and as soon as I was induced and pushed her out, her skull collapsed. She died three hours later. My sons know about their rainbow sister though. They like to joke that she missed her flight. I guess it’s how they cope with it
