Now, Evan's quickly gaining ground in comparison to other babies in his age group.
Evan, 1, Nashville, TN
"Our son, Ivo Evan Dillon, was born August 11, 2005 at 10:00 pm. He was a 28 weeker: born 12 weeks early due to preeclampsia. After three long months in the NICU, Evan finally came home from the hospital on his 3-month birthday -- November 11, 2005. He had to take oxygen until he was 7 months old, and had to wear his apnea monitor until his first birthday.
Evan just turned 1 year old recently, and is doing wonderfully. He's so full of love, joy, and spunk, and we love this little boy more than we could have ever imagined. And, he's definitely catching up to his peers -- he currently weighs almost 22 pounds, and we are absolutely thrilled!"
-- Amy and Ivo, parents of Evan
