Mom Meagan was hospitalized at 28 weeks due to high blood pressure and diabetes complications. Macy Joseph arrived early at 30 weeks, weighing 4 lbs 6.1 oz, joining big sisters Malaysia, 4, and Mikaela, 3.
The Young family first learned about the Family Room from their Case Manager. For Meagan, it provided crucial support, allowing her to be with Macy around the clock and easing post-partum stress. For dad Ignatius, it meant avoiding the daily commute from Opelousas with two young kids and a wife recovering from a c-section. The Family Room alleviated significant stress, saving time, reducing travel costs, and simplifying their daily routine.
Meagan’s time in the Family Room holds many special moments and she recalled fondly how Whitney would alway involve her girls in fun activities and that the team and volunteers would never miss an opportunity to ask, “Do you need anything else?”
