Hi Everyone!

My name is Osama Hamad. The meaning of my name is Lion which fits me perfectly because I am super strong fighter. My story begins when I was still in my mom’s belly. Mom & Dad were so excited to meet me and I knew that early on because they read and talked to me all the time! When I was only 24 weeks my family found out that my journey before I would come home would be a tough one because there was  fluid around my belly. I could not wait to meet them and came WAY  too early, at  32 weeks old on April 19th 2016, I made my debut. After I arrived, I knew there was trouble. So many doctors were around and helped me to breathe, eat and do everything that I didn’t know how to do yet. The doctors told my parents that I had an enlarged liver and spleen but they didn’t know why. I was in the hospital (NICU) for almost 2 months working on getting big and better. On June 13th, I was so happy to finally be away from machines and just spend time with all my family from near and far.
