Two days after her birthday, one mom thought her stomach ache was just another part of pregnancy, but it was the start of her daughter’s fight to survive. Born weighing only 1 pound, 14 ounces, her baby girl spent 146 days in the Norton Children’s NICU, where every “hand hug,” every heartbeat, and every small milestone mattered.

Today, that tiny fighter is thriving, living proof of the strength, care and hope that fill our NICU every single day. 💜

When Hayes’ mom, Libby, learned early in her pregnancy that she had almost no amniotic fluid and that Hayes’ chances were slim, the journey ahead seemed impossible.

Born at 33 weeks with multiple congenital anomalies, Hayes spent 7½ months in the Norton Children’s NICU, underwent more than 20 surgeries, and later needed emergency surgery at just over a year old.

But today? He’s thriving. Because at Norton Children’s, our teams — from maternal-fetal medicine to neonatology to pediatric surgery — come together to lean in when families need hope the most.
