Meet Connor

I was admitted to the hospital for high blood pressure when I was 23 weeks pregnant. Our son was measuring small and we were told he had Intrauterine Growth Restriction so our doctor told us we were going to take it week by week. Six days later I began having severe upper right quadrant pain. Connor was born the following day on June 29, 2013 when I was 24 weeks pregnant via emergency C-section. I was already considered high risk due to my age, previous miscarriages and other health concerns. I had developed severe preeclampsia and HELLP Syndrome. Connor weighed only 14 ounces. He was so little and fragile and the first few days were especially rough. Most of the equipment used on babies was too big for him. One of his biggest challenges was breathing because his lungs were so underdeveloped but he was given surfactant and nitric oxide, which March of Dimes recommends all premature babies receive. Connor had a lot of growing to do and several obstacles to overcome before being able to come home with us. After five surgeries, countless procedures and six months in the NICU, he came home with us on December 23, 2013 just two days before Christmas. It truly is a miracle that he is here with us. We created our team, Connor's Courage last year to raise awareness and honor all babies born too soon. -Holly Sorensen
