Tiny 21-week baby Nash Keen survives at UI Health Care
Mollie and Randall Keen welcomed Nash Keen at 21 weeks 0 days after Mollie’s cervix began thinning. UI Health Care’s neonatology team, led by Patrick McNamara, used hemodynamics and tiny equipment to save him. Nash spent 189 days in care, facing chronic pulmonary hypertension and a minor heart defect, but recovered enough to go home and attend later school.
