Many of the children who reside at PSC were born severely prematurely -- NICU babies whose lungs never had the chance to develop in-utero. While miracles of medicine have enabled some of the tiniest babies to survive and thrive with no developmental delays or physical problems, some require a lifetime of assistance to breathe, using a ventilator.
Some other babies suffer the effects of having become drug-addicted or alcohol-dependent while their moms were pregnant. Others have had a traumatic birth, where they were "anoxic" or starved of oxygen, affecting their brains. Some have syndromes or diseases, like muscular dystrophy, sickle cell anemia, and cerebral palsy.
There are some truly heartbreaking stories to be told of children at PSC who were healthy and "normal" until tragedy struck suddenly to change their lives and the lives of their families forever.
