Everything was progressing normally in Jen's pregnancy. Later, though, an ultrasound revealed some concerns, and after baby Lexi was born, Jen and husband Jacob began to suspect the newborn may have health concerns. Watch Lexi's moving story. Jen and Jacob turned to their daughters' ThedaCare pediatrician, Dr. Jennifer Szmanda, to help guide them through Lexi's care. Jen and Jacob went on to learn that their youngest daughter had contracted a virus in utero and developed congenital CMV, which can lead to birth defects. This led them to Connected for Kids, a partnership between ThedaCare, Children's Wisconsin, and Bellin Health, bringing advanced care for kids closer to home.

Heartbreaking but hopeful. Angel and Garrett Carter's journey to parenthood has been filled with unimaginable loss. Despite their profound sorrow, they're turning their pain into purpose. They're raising funds on GoFundMe to provide CuddleCots for hospitals, a special cooling device that gives grieving families precious extra time with their babies after loss. As Angel and Garrett continue to grieve and remember their children, they hope to turn their experiences into something positive, and allow other families to create special memories that will last a lifetime.❤️ To learn more about the ThedaCare Family of Foundations and the impact of donor support, please visit thedacare.org/Foundations. https://lnkd.in/geYZ4ynn
