Rebecca Ortiz and her husband, Joe, were looking forward to welcoming their third child into the family. Towards the end of her pregnancy Rebecca's body was signaling that something wasn't right and their, daughter, Rose Josephine, was born five weeks premature with physical limitations. After months in the NICU until she was stable enough to go home, Rosie's condition was still uncertain and not able to be diagnosed. Rosie just celebrated her first birthday in March and though her condition remains a mystery, she has made slow and small but steady progress in that time. In today's episode you'll get to hear from Becca as she shares her journey of walking out a complicated pregnancy, a tough labor, and an even tougher first year of her baby's life. Through it all, God was and still remains a loving and faithful presence to the Ortiz family as they love and raise Rosie Jo.
