The Patry Family

Maureen did everything by the book during her pregnancy to ensure the healthy birth of Ethan and Elaina. Her twins, Ethan and Elaina, were born 12 weeks premature at 28 weeks. Ethan weighed 2 lbs. and 1 oz. and Elaina weighed 1 lb. 9 oz. Elaina was in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for 3 months and Ethan was in the NICU for 104 days. The family credits their survival and good health to research used to create treatments for premature babies which was funded in large part by the March of Dimes. One such research driven treatment resulted in the development of Surfactant, a drug which helps preemies with breathing. Both Ethan and Elaina had the benefit of this drug. While we may never know why Ethan and Elaina came early, the family would like to invite you to join them in the fight against prematurity by joining them at the March for Babies.
