Meet the Hale Family
On January 17, 2012, three tiny miracles came into this world. Two girls and a boy made their appearance way too early at 25 weeks and 5 days. Carter weighed 2 lbs. 2oz., and Emerson and Madeline weighed just over 1 lb. each. They were rushed upstairs to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at USA Children's and Women's Hospital with ventilators, monitors, IV's and numerous drugs.
One of those critically important and life-saving drugs was Surfactant, which the March of Dimes was instrumental in procuring. Both girls needed and received Surfactant because their amniotic fluids were severely deficient for nearly 5 weeks of pregnancy.
These tiny miracles were given the best care possible by an unparalleled medical team that rivals any in the country. While Madeline passed away at 4 months of age due to untreatable complications, the live saving procedures and medicines enabled her to provide her family with a lifetime of memories they will forever cherish, and saved the lives of her siblings.
Today, Cater and Emerson are beautiful, health toddlers who just celebrated their third birthdays.
