Addison Grace Buggia was born on Mother’s Day to grateful parents Mark and Megan (11). She did arrive 8 weeks early while they were vacationing in Charleston, SC. She weighed 3 lbs., 15 oz. and is in the NICU at the Medical University of South Carolina. They anticipate a stay of at least 4 weeks. Megan will be staying in the Ronald Mc Donald House Charities of Charleston (81 Gadsden Street, Charleston SC 29401), and Mark will come as often as he can. Your prayers over these last few days have been much appreciated and felt. Please continue to pray that Addison will grow strong and healthy and that Megan and Mark will have what they need to adjust to this challenging situation. Pray also for grandparents, Don and Lynn Vanoostveen (5).
