new to ohio
My son Ethan was born on April 22, 05 at 27wks in Newport News, VA. We had a great experience for the most part at the hospital he was in. We moved to the North Canton area in July. My parents are here, and I lived in New Phila 6yrs ago. It's nice to be "home." Ethan's doing well, never had to be on oxygen or heart monitor. He does have stage 2 ROP in both of his eyes and goes to Akron Children's every 2 weeks for checkups. The staff there are really great too. I'd love to meet other moms and former premies in the area. Feel free to email me. I work part time, but am home most of the time.
Dana

Stephanie- I hope you see this! We miss seeing you guys too! Sometimes I think about our NICU friends and wonder how they're doing, but I can only picture Trenton and Simon as the tiny little guys they were when you guys went home. Clara is doing absolutely wonderful! She's almost 12 pounds now and will be 8 months old a week from today.
I'm sending you guys a card with our contact info in it. I hope I still have the right address. And when we were at follow up clinic last month and made our next appointment I saw that Trenton was scheduled right after Clara so hopefully we'll see you there!
If you get this email me some pics of Trenton.

Welcome to Share! I live in North Central Ohio, you are about two hours south from me. I wanted to welcome you to Share and Walk America! Now you get to the fun part. You have your team, now you start raising money! There are many different things teams are doing to do that, and you can find that under getting involved and Walk America Discussions.

Lima, Ohio Area WalkAmerica
Hi, my name is Holly Bowersock and I am the family team coordinator for our walk in Lima, Ohio. Let me tell you a little bit about my connection to the March of Dimes and the reason I am participating in WalkAmerica. My son, Jonathon, was born at 24 weeks. He weighed 1 lb. 3 oz. and spent the first five months of his life at Columbus Children's Hospital. Jonathon is know a very happy and energetic 3 year old with minor health complications. We are thankful for all of the research that the MOD has done over the years and that is why we continue to support their prematurity campaign.
My goal, as the family team coordinator, is to get more family teams registered and participating in our local Walk on April 29. If you are from the Lima area and would like to help support the March of Dimes give the local office a call at 1-419-534-3600 to get registered. You can also contact me by e-mail at bowersock3@ohiolink.net
I hope to hear from you soon!!

New to the Dayton Area
Hi Ohio... My name is Tracy. I moved to Ohio last year from St. Louis. WOW it's taken me a whole year to get adjusted to life out here. My story is long but short details... My daughter Katlyne was born at 23 1.2 weeks and lived for 110 days before passing away in our arms. Our son Casey was born 2 years ago at 33 weeks. He spent 10 days in a step down NICU before being able to come home. Both were born early due to Preeclampsia (lucky me)> I am finally recovered from damaged done to me and Casey is well and healthy.

NE Ohio
Glad to hear your home and doing well. I am located in Alabama and we use to live up in Alliance. We had our oldest up at Mercy back in 2000. Our youngest we had down here in Alabama which was 36 weeks and she went up to UAB for a month. She was early and still weighed 8lbs and 3ozs. At that time she was the 2nd to the biggest the NICU had at that time.

Attention Ohio!!! I just wanted to say hi, welcome you all to Share and invite you to participate in every aspect that you feel interested in within Share and the March of Dimes. There are so many ways you can get involved and I hope that you stick around... make yourselves at home and if your feeling really good, stop in at the Cafe and have a drink.
I'm in North Central Ohio and I'm really hoping to connect with other families from Ohio. I'd love to put Ohio back on the March of Dimes Map.
God Bless,
Amy
