The Cody Family

U.S. Navy EOD1 Wes Cody and his wife Kelly had identical twin girls, born at 20 weeks, on December 10, 2009 that didn’t survive. Twins don’t run in either of their families. Yet, on November 3, 2010, at 28 weeks Kelly gave birth to fraternal twins after complications that endangered her life and the lives of their babies; all while Wes was deployed. Cade James, born at 2 lbs. 6 oz., was resuscitated and rushed to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Kelly, who did not get to see her son, had one brief glance at Avery Ann, who weighed 3 lbs. 2 oz., before the tiny girl joined her brother in the NICU. The next months were filled with blood transfusions, feeding tubes, ventilators, dropped heart rates and countless machine alarms. At 3 months, Avery and Cade, equipped with monitors and oxygen came home. Today, Kelly and Wes celebrate the noise, giggles, tears and havoc of healthy, active 3-year olds. “Our babies are here because of the life-saving work of the March of Dimes,” said Wes. “Please give generously so that other families will not have to make this journey. Every baby deserves to be born healthy.”
