A McKinney family is working to create a legacy for their twin boys who were born four months early at just 24 weeks.
The family has joined forces with March of Dimes to raise awareness about premature babies and the research that helps them.
Larissa was having a normal and healthy pregnancy with twins when, for an unknown reason, she went into labor at just 23 weeks. "Rhett was born at an age where his lungs would not have been able to expand and contract," said Kimberly Robinson, who is senior director of donor development for March of Dimes."We funded a researcher who found synthetic form of surfactant," Robinson explained. "It is a hormone that babies create in last few weeks of gestation and help lungs expand and contract."
