THE PERKURI FAMILY

Kaitlin was diagnosed with preeclampsia and developed HELLP syndrome and PIH. With a failing liver, an emergency C-section was performed. Truett was born at 31 weeks weighing 3lbs, 5 oz. He was placed on a vent and intubated for surfactant therapy for 24 hours in the NICU. He was then placed on CPAP for help with oxygen. Once he started bottle feeds, he had a difficult time and had episodes of bradycardia. He was in the NICU and Level 2 nursery a total of 54 days.
