Jayda and Jaylin’s Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Story

Jayda and Jaylin were born at 26 weeks and five days gestation. Jayda tried to come out frank-breech and caused both babies to be delivered via emergency c-section. While both babies were on ventilators, Jaylin needed extra help breathing from a chest tube. The twins stayed in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at UF Health Jacksonville for 72 days and experienced many ups and downs, but were able to go home four weeks shy of their original due date. Both girls needed multiple blood transfusions during their stay. Today, Jayda and Jaylin continue to receive breathing treatments for chronic lung disease and have had tubes placed in their ears. Jayda has only recently received prescription glasses. Their smiles and strength continue to bring positivity to those around them.
