Twins born at 25 weeks: Peter survived, Andrew lives on in our hearts. #nicu #infantloss

March of Dimes Short 26 days ago

Description

Born at just 25 weeks and weighing only 1.8 pounds each, twins Peter and Andrew faced impossible odds from the very start.

The next morning, baby Andrew passed away peacefully in his father’s arms. As Kelly and Billy grieved the loss of their son, Peter began a grueling seven-month battle in the NICU.

Kelly spent countless long, quiet days by Peter’s bedside. In those moments of deep isolation, simple acts of care, compassionate nurses, and vital support from March of Dimes helped carry them through the unimaginable.

Today, Peter is a joyful 4-year-old preschooler who loves music, laughs constantly, and continues to defy the odds every single day. As they honor Andrew’s memory, Kelly and Billy hope other NICU families know they don’t have to face this alone. 💜
