He was born 27 weeks into Saunders&#8217; pregnancy and weighed a pound more than his sister Ava weighed when she was born on June 24, 2004. <\/p>\n<p>Giving birth to a premature child is a traumatic experience that leaves a mother with a true sense of having no control, Saunders said. Giving birth to two premature children was almost too much to bear.<\/p>\n<p>But in the case of both her children, Saunders found solace and support in the staff at the medical center&#8217;s newborn intensive care unit (NICU). <\/p>\n<p>The staff&#8217;s care for Saunders&#8217; children, including watching over Ava as she spent eight weeks on a ventilator, and their emotional support for Abby and her husband Ryan proved invaluable. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They were great,&#8221; Saunders said. &#8220;We spent so much time up there that the staff became like a second family to us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Today, Ava, 3, and Griffin, 2, are for the most part vigorous, healthy children. Ava requires some therapy to refine her speech and fine motor skills, but considering how bleak it looked at the beginning, the Saunders are happy with their family situation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We didn&#8217;t think she was going to make it,&#8221; Saunders said, noting that doctors said Ava had a 30 percent chance at survival. &#8220;That was a difficult thought to deal with.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><TABLE border=\"1\" width=\"250\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\" align=\"right\"><br \/>\n<TR><br \/>\n<TD><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/SaundersUW07.jpg\" border=\"2\" align=\"right\" alt=\"picture disc.\"><br \/>\n<\/TD><br \/>\n<\/TR><br \/>\n<TR><br \/>\n<TD><br \/>\n<font face=\"arial\" size=\"2\"><br \/>\nAbby Saunders cradles her first-born child, Ava, in this 2004 photo taken in The Nebraska Medical Center Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

The March of Dimes and its NICU support efforts are strengthened by United Way funds. <\/p>\n<p>As part of her duties, she will work with families of premature babies in the NICU units at The Nebraska Medical Center and Bergan Mercy Hospital. <\/p>\n<p>The job fits her perfectly and helps her see how her experience with her own children can benefit countless others. It also is a way for her to return the kindness she received from the medical center&#8217;s NICU staff when she was a scared parent of a premature baby. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I really can&#8217;t believe how perfectly this has worked out,&#8221; Saunders said. &#8220;This new job is a privilege for me.&#8221; <\/p>\n<!-- <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" title=\"HkbH   AbSimaB u h JzUJpc\">HkbH   AbSimaB u h JzUJpc<\/a> --><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abby Saunders felt snakebit.
