Hi, I am Jessica and the mom of Jacob Eli! On September 23th 2024 I went into preterm labor with our son. Our sweet boy decided to come into the world September 25th 2024 at 2:36 am, at 23 weeks weighing 1 pound 6 ounces and 11.5 inches long. My husband and I were in love with our sweet boy! Baby Eli was only with us for 6 short days. He caught staph epi and his little body just could not fight anymore. October 1st at 11:13 am Eli passed away in my arms. We miss our son so much and hope in memory of him we can provide resources and help to other parents need.
