Description

The listing, "For Samuel" Custom Made Handcrafted Jewelry! Part 2 has ended.

This auction is for handcrafted jewelry made by me.It starts of with 1 piece of your choice.Custom made to your liking!My granson Samuel Lucas Burleson came into this world 5 weeks early on October 27th 2010.He weighed only 4 lbs 3 oz. He is in the NICU at Winnie Palmer Hospital here in orlando florida. He has had a few health issues,low blood sugar,low oxygen saturation,as well as trouble learning to "suck,swallow,and breath" at the same time. For a few days he was being fed threw a tube in his tummy.Because he came to us early we were not ready for him.We had no clothes,bottles,diapers,or any kind of furniture for him. I want to do whatever i can to help my daughter out and don't have a lot of money,so i decided to hold this auction for something i can do! MAKE JEWELRY! The credits i recieve from this auction will go to bid on things the baby needs. As the credits go up i will add another piece.maybe a matching necklace,or earrings? it's up to you!
some of you asked for it again so here it is! this time i will make it for 10 days to give everyone time to see it and to build there credits.as well give me time to make the 4 pieces from the last auction!

my daughter was born 11 weeks early and it was very tuff, so I know how it feels. We also had nothing for her too. Plus to make it worse were moving. She came on the day, literally the day we were moving. So all of our stuff was packed up in the u haul. But everything worked out just fine. She is now 3 years old. She is 3'5 and weighs 40 pounds with perfect health!

I hope that your will grandson grows big and strong!

my daughter Violet was 5 weeks early and 4lbs 3 oz. She needed some help at first too. I had to wake her up to eat at night. Then when she was 3 weeks old she stopped breathing at home and we took her to the hospital she spent another 3 weeks in the picu. She had infantile apnea. She would have periods of just not breathing (sometimes up to 30 sec). It was very scary... We had just lost my nephew ( a 6 weeks preemie) at 7 weeks old around that time to SIDS. The nurse would tell me your baby is okay and she needs you to be strong. It was the hardest time of my life. I was surrounded with people but I felt so alone. My child was put on a ventilator and then to bi-pap, c-pap and finally oxygen till she was sent home. We spent the next year with many scares. We had a monitor for her first year. It would alert us to her apnea spells. We had to learn CPR. And used it only once on her. It can be very scary. Thankfully it is outgrown at 1 year old in most infants and Violet has outgrown this condition. I wish I could tell you she is huge... But she is a peanut. 20 months old now and only 22 lbs. The smartest little thing tho. I was so scared she would be behind on things... but she is so wonderful, funny, and smart. I thank God she is still here with me. I will pray for your grandson and know he will be full of wonderful suprises later on just like my preemie has been. God bless!!!

Awww I have been there myself with my son born at about 30 weeks 2lbs 15oz. He was also tube fed from his tummy at first... I remember when people would tell me oh I know so and so was preemie and look at them now! I didn't want to hear it.. MY baby was in the NICU fighting for his life....My son is 4 now going to be 5on the 19th and it brings back heart wrenching memories. He is HUGE now 53 lbs and only 18 inches shorter than me! I also didn't have anything when he was born. I didn't have a baby shower and we had moved into our own place while I was in the hospital having him (my hub actually did the moving).I'm thankful for an aunt that I had she went to thrift stores and got clothes and asked around for things... I stayed at the hospital and then the place they put me in..His first Christmas was spent in the hospital as well. I didn't leave him at all...He came home on oxygen and caffeine for his heart and was a bit behind at first but he has more than caught up and surpassed all the kids his age. He is SOOOO smart!! I will remember your little one in my prayers that is a promise.

My son came 4 weeks early so I know what you mean about not being ready (I already had the furniture but not much else, he wore pink for the first two months almost everyday) I was going to list some of his newborn clothes up here soon!!
