A woman who was born prematurely at only 29 weeks’ gestation now works as a nurse at the same neonatal intensive care unit where she was cared for.
Megan White was born prematurely in 1984, weighing a tiny 2lb 8oz.
She spent weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Ascension St. Joseph Hospital, where she was placed on a ventilator to help her breathe – a common treatment given to very premature babies.
Eventually, Megan was allowed to go home from the hospital on what would have been her original due date.
