March for Babies

Wow - what a wonderful time we had at the March for Babies in Seattle on Sunday. Here is a cute picture of Alex trying on my sunglasses. It was a beautiful sunny day to be on a walk to support a good cause. I ended up getting much more emotional than I ever thought. I was emotional because I knew all these people KNEW what I knew. There were so many families there, with newborns, toddlers, children of all ages. Families who were touched in some way - for so many reasons. The most difficult to see where the teams all wearing t-shirts for a baby that had died. I was so proud to be there supporting them - supporting all of us.

All babies deserve a healthy start.

March of Dimes is a good organization and funded the grant for the studies to develop/test the surfactant therapy that Alex received while in the NICU. He had respiratory distress and was struggling to breath. The surfactant therapy helped so much! He could breath easier and not spend all of his energy breathing - but, instead resting from a traumatic birth and learning to feed.

We are very grateful to all the people who donated to the March of Dimes - March for Babies walk.

Thank you!
