At a 20-week scan, physicians at @childrenspgh discovered that Elyse had Severe Intrauterine Growth Restriction, a condition in which the fetus is smaller than expected. With her heart rate and blood pressure dropping, the tough decision was made to deliver Elyse via emergency C-section. She was just 1 lb 14 oz and 13.5 inches long and had a long journey ahead of her, but because of the support of staff at Children's Pittsburgh and their Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), she survived.⁠⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #kidscantwait #changekidshealth #childrenshospitals #healthcare #nonprofit #fundraiser #philanthropy #charity #fundraising
