Life-saving treatment for the tiniest patients in Maryland
Three years ago, Debbie Harris gave birth to triplet boys: Austin, Barak, and Christian. It took a delicate transport from a community hospital, three surgeries, and a long stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) before Barak was able to go home with his brothers and parents.
Debbie went into labor at 32 weeks gestation, and her babies were relatively healthy. After a short stay in a hospital in Montgomery County, the family headed home to Frederick County. A few days later, Debbie noticed Barak wasn’t eating, and on the advice of her pediatrician, she brought him back to the hospital.
