A personal note from Robin:
Valerie was born too early, and yet, almost too late…
My physicians performed an emergency c-section to save Valerie from an infection that had just taken the life of her twin sister in-utero. Seconds counted. I was in my 23rd week of pregnancy and Valerie’s chances of survival were slim. We watched, waited, and prayed as Valerie, weighed less than one pound, underwent various procedures, surgery, and struggled through illnesses brought on by her prematurity. We all noticed that Valerie’s vitals (and those of the babies around her) improved when music was playing. Because she ‘listened’ to my music before her birth, it made sense to me to have familiar music playing by her incubator – music and prayer were the only things I could offer. Valerie overcame one obstacle after another during her four-month stay in the intensive care nursery. She was stronger than anyone could know. Today I continue to share music with Valerie.In fact, she is now a young musician herself!
