Welcome Baby Buns in the Oven

Donation protected
The internet went wild over Arkell Graves being surprised by his wife, Dana Griffin-Graves, with an extra special dinner treat in the oven...buns and ultrasound pictures. What made this announcement even more special was they had experienced four miscarriages and a stillbirth in their seventeen year marriage. Dana, age 41, found out at 19 weeks that she was pregnant.

Fast forward, just two weeks, Dana found herself in ICU with the possibility of not being able to keep her miracle. But she held on to "Baby Buns" and her faith in God. She risked her life every moment that she refused to deliver.

Baby Kaleb Arkell Graves, was born on October 20, 2015 at 1:08 PM, during the 24th week, which doctor's consider to be the first week of possible viability outside of the womb. This makes him 16 weeks early. His actual due date was supposed to be February 16th.

Arkell and Dana were not prepared that a doctor's visit on that day, two weeks ago would be the last time that Dana would be at home. She is currently in the hospital because she is still battling her own health issues, as well as Kaleb being taken care of in the NICU.

This Go Fund Me page was created by Dana's sister with the purpose of helping to offset some of the expenses of the enormous hospital bills and to have a beautiful, well-deserved nursery for Baby Kaleb created for his arrival home in a few months (we are claiming this in faith!)

All help is appreciated, but they need your prayers even more. They are very humble people and are usually the first to support others. You may follow their journey on their official Facebook page, Arkell and Dana's Baby Bun.
