Because of her congenital heart disease, Heather had a high-risk pregnancy and had to deliver her baby, Lily, a few weeks early via C-section. When Lily was born, a breathing tube was immediately inserted to help her breathe while they transferred her to the NICU at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. A few years prior, Heather’s baby boy spent two months in the NICU at the same hospital, where he received life-saving care. So, the moment Heather handed Lily over to the NICU team, she knew she would receive the best possible care, just like her son did. As Lily grew stronger in the NICU, the nurses brought Heather to the unit a few times to see her. These early visits allowed Heather to bond with Lily in her first few weeks of life. Heather is exceptionally grateful she had a team that reassured her and made her feel comfortable throughout Lily’s entire NICU stay. Today, Lily is a healthy baby enjoying life at home with her family.
