Additional Information:
2010 Houston County Ambassador
Danica was born at 37 weeks weighing 5lbs 8oz at Houston Healthcare. At the time of her birth she was not breathing. Shortly after the chest x-ray
revealed no diaphragm on her right side. This defect allowed multiple organs to invade her lung cavity, thus not allowing her right lung to develop
properly during pregnancy. After 4 months in the NICU Danica went home, and almost 1 ½ years later all of her surgeries and sutures are still holding
strong!
