The Babbitt Family
Meet the Babbitt Family.
"The NICU is where the longest days of our lives were spent. There was constant noise, and at times silence, but we never felt alone. The NICU became a second home for us and Yale continues to be a place of comfort and pain. This is where our children were born. This is where William thrived and John passed. We march and fundraise for March of Dimes for our two precious baby boys born 14 weeks too early. Our sons arrived at 25 weeks and 4 days unexpectedly, as there had been no known complications. William came home 3 years ago after 127 days in the NICU and continues to grow and thrive. He had a brain bleed at the base of his brain, chronic lung disease, and PDA of his heart. Three years later he is a strong and healthy preschooler. John Ryan lost his life at 10 days old due to prematurity complications; his lungs were not ready. We raise money to honor him.
After John died it was our mission to be there every day with William. We drove over an hour a day one-way to get to him for months, but he was doing all of the hard work. Seeking normalcy in the NICU is hard, but it becomes your new normal. You as parents, along with hundreds of staff, are raising your child until the day he was strong enough to come home.
The NICU journey was a complete roller coaster and where we first learned about all of the good things March of Dimes does for families while they have babies in the NICU. They provided us with one-on-one support, meal vouchers, parking vouchers, baby clothes, books, toys, and the comfort that we were not alone. As our journey continued and William had health complications, we then learned about how much research March of Dimes has done to improve the health of babies born prematurely. These are some of the reasons why March of Dimes is close to our hearts. Please support the mission of strong moms and healthy babies by walking with us this year!"
