Many will be too small and too sick to go home.<br />Instead, they face weeks or even months in the intensive care unit. (NICU). These babies face an increased risk of serious medical complication, and death; however, most eventually will go home.<br />In honor of Prematurity Awareness Month, please go to <a href="http://www.marchofdimes.com/padpetition/index.aspx?a=1&z=1&c=1&l=en">http://www.marchofdimes.com/padpetition/index.aspx?a=1&z=1&c=1&l=en</a><br />to sign the petition to urge the federal government to increase support for prematurity-related research.MARCH OF DIMEShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02803802534380751126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5807388925422387148.post-54399267346281963762008-10-30T08:11:00.000-07:002008-10-30T08:15:41.907-07:00March for Babies Family Team BlogHi Everyone! I am relatively new to the blogging world but I think this would be a good way to get out the latest happenings at the Northeast Ohio, March of Dimes chapter to all our family teams.<br /><br />My hope is to use this blog to relay information, seek volunteers, display family team stories, exchange fundraising ideas and have some fun in the process.<br /><br />I hope you all will contribute and post comments. I hope this can develop into a real community.<br /><br />Have a Happy Halloween!<br /><br />Karen Burrow<br />Family Team Chair<br />March of Dimes<br />N.E.
