- Feals Family
In 2015, Kennedy Feals was born at 27 weeks 6 days when her mom developed preeclampsia. Kennedy weighed just 2 pounds, 2 ounces and measured only 14 inches.
She spent 12 weeks in the NICU at MUSC. Kennedy overcame many obstacles, including a severe lung condition, but is now healthy.
Her parents, Brian and Stephanie Feals, say they are beyond thankful for the March of Dimes and all of their life-saving research. Innovations like surfactant were crucial to Kennedy's recovery.
