The Curry Family

“The day my husband Nick and I found out we were pregnant was one of the happiest and most exciting days of our lives. We had been married for a while and were ready to start a family. I remember feeling like I was growing a miracle. Little did I know what a miracle our baby would be.” - Erica Curry Erica was active and healthy. She was seeing her doctor regularly and pregnancy seemed to agree with her. As a registered nurse, she knew the importance of a health pregnancy and took all the precautions for her baby. Erica skipped an afternoon fishing trip with her husband. She wasn’t feeling great and her face was swollen. She decided to stay home to relax and Nick went fishing on his own. About an hour later, she was experiencing abdominal pain and by the time she drove herself to the hospital she was in labor, only 28 weeks into her pregnancy. The baby’s heartbeat was strong, but Erica’s blood pressure was extremely high. Two hours later, baby Amelia was being delivered via emergency Cesarean section. She weighed just over a pound and had to be resuscitated at birth. She was taken to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). After 75 days of growing and getting stronger in the NICU, Amelia came home. She met her big sister for the first time and still only weighed 4 ½ pounds. She continued to need support and therapies over the first few years, but today Amelia is a thriving 4 year-old.
