Will’s paredts, Dee and Wray Acuff, never imagined that their second child would be born three months early and weighing only 2 pounds, 6 ounces. They watched and waited while Will was treated in the NICU at Levine Children’s Hospital in Charlotte for respiratory distress and Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA), which is a condition in which a blood vessel fails to close normally in an infant soon after birth. “This was a very overwhelming emotional roller-coaster ride, not knowing from one day to the next of what was in store for our tiny lit- tle baby," Dee said. "Great support from fam- ily, friends, great doctors and wonderful nurses was the only way to make it through the day. There is never enough thank you's to be shown. for how much support and prayers that were of- fered to little Will. We had a great team of doc- tors and nurses that cared for our baby and I know part of their knowledge came from he support of the March of Dimes. Will is truly a March of Dimes Miracle.” Prematurity is the leading cause of newborn death in the United States. More than half-a- million babies are born prematurely in the United States each year, and those who survive - often face lifelong health challenges, such as breathing problems, cerebral palsy, and intel- lectual disabilities.
