Lisa and Sophie Green

The Green's have an incredible story to share: The Greens' battle was a fight for two. Lisa Green experienced severe symptoms of preeclampsia. She was experiencing severe headaches, no longer could wear shoes, couldn't breathe, and she had swelling, loss of vision and uncontrollable vomiting. She was immediately rushed to the hospital and met her baby girl sooner than anticipated. Sophie was born at 28 weeks at UAMS in Little Rock, AR. Their entire journey in the NICU lasted 61 days at UAMS with an additional 10 days in the CVICU at Arkansas Children's Hospital due to heart failure. Now, 3 years later, Sophie has tested out of all therapies. She started school at 18 months old and is excelling. She played an angel in the church pageant this past year. She is in dance and will have her first dance recital this summer. She still suffers from “chronic lung disease” but continues to get better each day. The Greens are more than happy to say Sophie’s heart failure has not shown its ugly face again and Lisa is also doing well. The Green's inspire us here in Central Arkansas every day. If their story inspires you too, then share your own March for Babies story on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using #MarchforBabies.
