Elisa's Story |
 |
 |
Our daughter Elisa was born at 33 weeks weighing less than 4 lbs. She was so small, her little arms were the same size as our fingers! She spent the first 3 weeks in the NICU, sleeping, growing and learning how to eat. She was so sleepy and quiet that at times it was hard for us to know whether she was a normal baby. We were very reassured when each of her 3 newborn screens came back normal. It's wonderful that Minnesota offers such a comprehensive newborn screening program. |
