While many of the infants photographed by NILMDTS never had the chance to live, there are those that were photographed while alive but very sick, and despite tremendous odds, later survived. @anonymous: you are absolutely correct.

Baby Maddux, the first angel photographed for NILMDTS, was photographed while on life support before he passed away.

They have great resources for grieving families too, including a forum area for the parents. Some of the stories are so heart-wrenching, and I'm just glad that I can be there to help families in this area. It’s really an honor to be a part of this organization.
