Ambassador Family

JiYai Blessings

A new little prince was born into our lives on August 28, 2009 as a preemie weighing 2lbs, 12 oz., and was named Ji’Yai Nasir Hill! It was only 6 months and 29 weeks gestation that he came into our world at Martin Memorial Hospital. After seeing him briefly, he was transferred to St. Mary’s NICU in West Palm Beach. Although every day was a challenge, baby Ji’Yai was a strong soldier. We watched our prince on many breathing machines, having blood transfusions, and learning how to handle his feeding. After two and a half months in the NICU, Ji’Yai was able to come home and it was a day to celebrate with happiness and lots of love. We received many services through March of Dimes, (HPS) Helping People Succeed, and House of Hope to help with his development skills. Now Ji’Yai is an active ten year old, and he is our perfect blessing!
