Toddler Finally Leaves the Hospital for the First Time

It was a bittersweet day. At 19 months old, Jack Shields had to say goodbye to his friends on the staff at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Ohio. Jack and his twin brother, Jonah, were born 14 weeks early with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a chronic lung condition common in premature babies. Jonah was released from the hospital and has been waiting at home for Jack. Jack's making great strides, but he's not quite ready to head home to Jonah just yet. The hospital gave Jack a beautiful send off as he headed to another facility closer to home, which will hopefully be his final step before finally getting to sleep in his own bed!
