A tiny, brave new mother

In a photo provided by Stanford University's Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, Roy and Eloysa Vasquez show off their new son, Timothy Abraham Vasquez. Eloysa Vasquez suffers from a severe form of osteogenesis imperfecta, which makes her bones soft and easily broken. She weighed only 37 lbs. before the pregnancy. Her tiny, distorted body left little room for a fetus to grow, and Vasquez suffered two miscarriages before doctors delivered her son by Caesarean section Jan. 24. He weighed 3 lbs. 7 oz. when he was delivered eight weeks before his due date.
