The Edwards Family: Close to Care, Surrounded by Support

The Edwards family is from Quincy, Illinois, and during Amy’s pregnancy with Payton, her blood pressure spiked to a dangerous level. Doctors made the decision to transfer her to Springfield for specialized care. Payton was born 11 weeks early, weighing just 2 pounds. Amy spent one week in the hospital, and Payton spent 77 days in the NICU. “It was the scariest thing that we’ve probably ever had to do,” Amy shared.
