This page was created to provide updates on The Long family as they navigated through their pregnancy with a baby with trisomy-18. They wanted to have a central location to update family and friends as they progressed through the pregnancy and beyond. In addition, we will post ways that you can help support the Long family both during the pregnancy and now after Mila Grace has been born into heaven. No matter what, please always say a prayer for us. Prayers can be so powerful. Thank you for all the love and support that we've received from everybody so far. We love you all ❤️
