Prematurity Awareness Day



Today is National Prematurity Awareness Day. March of Dimes has released their first annual report card, grading each state on their rate of premature births. There is obviously much to be done to improve this growing epidemic. There are some very simple ways to support research and the fight against prematurity...even by donating your old cell phones. For more information, visit www.marchofdimes.com.

The following is a link to a news report from Charleston. Legare was in the isolette across from Anna in the NICU. He has come such a long way!

And look how far the twins have come!






And last of all, here's a picture of Anna and Legare from the NICU Reunion at MUSC this past spring.
