A NICU STORY | THOUGHTS FROM ETHAN'S FAMILY

 My water broke at 23 weeks, spent 3 weeks in bed rest. Had an emergency c-section at 430am on 10/28/15. We spent 65 days in the NICU. He was nicknamed the "perfect preemie" by his doctors and nurses. We had a goal of him coming home by dads birthday, 1/3. They said it wouldn't happen. He was too little. Ethan came home 1/1/16. Best New Years gift ever!

A NICU STORY | THOUGHTS FROM WILLOW'S FAMILY

Willow spent 3 weeks in NICU. She has spina bifida and was born with a large open hole in her back with her spinal cord exposed. She underwent her first surgery at 24 hrs old. She was unable to lay on her back until she was 6 weeks old. Also, Due to her Arnold chiari malformation she struggled with apnea and was placed on oxygen (which she also came home with). She has had further surgery to place a shunt in her head to remove excess fluid from her ventricles. She remains delayed developmentally in her motor skills, but is continuing to make strides due to therapy and great doctors!

Willow's photo session was taken and donated by Preemie Prints volunteer photographer, Jennifer Sternal-Johnson.

A Note From Jen:

Willow was born with Spina Bifida and had her first corrective surgery at 24 hours old. Now she's almost one and seriously, one of the happiest kids I've met!

A NICU STORY | THOUGHTS FROM WILLOW, HARPER, AND DEACON'S FAMILY

“My wife was inpatient at Strong for nearly a month prior to giving birth due to severe preeclampsia. On the morning of June 7, just 4 hours into our 30th week she gave birth to our triplets - who were all born in the same minute - 4:54am. The two girls were 3lbs 2 oz each and our little boy was 1lbs 12oz. He has been home for roughly 2 weeks. The girls spent 49 days in the NICU & Deacon spent 62 days. It was a difficult journey but walking out of the hospital watching out babies take their first breath of fresh air was one of the greatest moments of both of our lives."

A Note From Jen:

Triplets! Born at 30 weeks, Harper and Willow stayed in the NICU for 49 days, and Deacon joined them at home after 62 days. These kiddos are so gorgeous--and I cannot imagine the chaos in their home (they had just moved in two weeks prior to our session!). Loved working with these cuties and moms Katie and Marcia.
