A Letter from Amy George
July 19, 2006
NewsChannel 19's Amy George reports:
Haley Phillips is touching her one-week-old son Carter for the first time.
She can't hold him in her arms.
She can only barely touch his foot.
"I just wanted to put my hand all over him," she says afterwards.
But she can't.
Carter and his twin brother Cooper were born almost four months early. Carter weighs just one pound five ounces.
"I want to bring him home so bad," Haley says. "I want to hold him and take care of him and go to bed with him right there. But I know because they were early this is the best place for them to be. And I wouldn't want them to be anywhere else."
