Meet Rory

Rory was born on May 1st born at 24 weeks and 4 days gestation weighing less than a pound and 10.5 inches long. The NICU team told us before my emergent C-section due to preeclampsia that as long as they could get the smallest breathing tube in her they could keep her alive. We stayed at the NICU at Riverside for around a month until Rory was diagnosed with NEC and transferred to the main campus. While there she had surgery for ROP and eventually a gtube and hernia surgery After 173 days Rory was discharged on October 21st. Since being home she has come off all oxygen support been signed off of physical therapy and speech therapy. She is walking ,talking, and living her best life. The nurses and therapist and all the NICU team at both hospitals not only cared for her but her father and I . We will forever be grateful for everything Nationwide Childrens did for our little miracle.
