Bri is the athletic one, listing kickball, softball and inline skating among her favorites, along with reading teen fan magazines. Missy prefers playing Monopoly and reading, and she loves music. Born eight weeks premature, Bri and Missy were cared for in the Seton Regional Neonatal Center for a month. Their lungs were underdeveloped, but that was really the only major complication we encountered. Seton neonatologist Dr. Donald Kelley is grateful for the improvements in medications and medical technology that are enabling more premature babies to grow into healthy children.
Community outreach is important.
Just talking with kids about the problems they can face in pregnancy is vital to addressing this critical situation.
