Archangelo, 3, Totowa, NJ
"Our son Arcangelo was born at 25 weeks on June 13, 2003 and weighed in at 1 pound, 13 ounces. On the day he turned 1 month old, he almost died with an infection, which thankfully he overcame. He suffered many health problems, but against all odds, never had an operation. When he finally came home, he had oxygen and nebulizer machines, as well as an apnea monitor, but still managed to thrive. Today, he is a very healthy, smart, and active 3-year-old!"
 -- Ignazio and Ines, parents of Archangelo
