Our ambassador
Kaeli Dalton
Kaeli Dalton
Preterm labor started at 25 weeks with twins along with preeclampsia. I was transferred to Florida Hospital in Orlando. Shortly after arriving at Florida Hospital blood work revealed HELLP syndrome and an emergency C-Section was performed at 26 weeks.
Kristofer weighed 2 lb 15oz. Kristofer was on a ventilator, was treated with surfactant and transfused many times. Kristofer required surgery to close the hole in his heart. Kristofer also developed NEC and required surgery to remove a large portion of his intestines. While the surgery was a success, infection would set in and take his life after a 182 battle on September 21, 2001. Kristofer loved being read to, watching Dragon Tales, his bright mobile and Kangaroo time whenever he could get it. Kristofer’s lifelong companion was his blue beanie duck from the March of Dimes.
Kaeli weighed 1 lb 15oz. Kaeli did 73 days of hard time in the NICU before winning her freedom. Kaeli endured ventilators, surfactant and transfusions, along with the Chicken McNugget phase of being in cellophane under a heat lamp.
When Kaeli finally made it home she required an Excel spreadsheet to track her medicines & required an apnea monitor for months.
On September 11, 2001 Kaeli was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, and we were told not to expect her “to do much more” than she could. Thankfully, Kaeli proved the doctor wrong and has surpassed all expectations.
Preemie life brought struggles through the years. We’ve dealt with gastric issues, motor skill delays, physical delays and required physical and occupational therapy.
Our family began to participate in Walk America while the twins were still in the hospital. Team Kristofer’s Angels was formed in 2002 and Kaeli was part of our walk team. As Kaeli got older she began to take pride in being a walker. Kaeli has asked for donations instead of birthday gifts many years. Kaeli has recruited her friends to walk, and loves to share her passion for the March of Dimes.
