Morgan and Madison were born about 16 weeks early. They had a very slim chance of surviving. But Morgan was released from NICU after 93 days and Madison was able to go home after 97 days. Sandy knows that it is so rare for babies who are born at only 24 weeks to survive, but thanks to the dedication of NICU doctors and nurses, her babies were nursed to health.
