March of Dimes National Ambassador: Catharine Aboulhouda

Video Description

Since Catharine was 16 weeks early, her eyes were fused shut and she fought for every breath, facing daily challenges caused by a heart defect, bleeding in her brain, jaundice and a heart murmur. After 113 days in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU), Catharine went home with her parents and big brother, Michael, still fragile enough to need monitors and oxygen. Amazingly, she has no lasting consequences of her extremely premature birth, thanks in part to medical advances developed and funded by the March of Dimes. Today, Catharine is a healthy 5-year-old with the energy of a firecracker — she loves singing, reading with her grandparents and swimming with her brother Michael. Susan says, "Perhaps one reason Catharine came into the world early is to let people know that even the tiniest babies can make a difference."
