She was transported by ambulance from Cottonwood Hospital to Primary Children's Medical Center where she was placed in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit. Makenie was given a dose of surfactant to keep her lungs from collapsing. She was also on a respirator for oxygen assistance. Just as Makenie was doing better and was being weaned off the oxygen, she developed apnea. As a result, she stayed in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit for an additional six weeks. Mukenzic's parents took her home eight weeks after her birth. They were taught how to take care of her and provided oxygen if it was needed. Today, (his active toddler is 2 years old and doing great. "We appreciate the care Makcnzie received and the care we received as parents, says mother, Susie Clark. "They made sure we understood everything that was happening and what it meant. We really appreciated it. It made us feel more secure." Fourteen-year-ol- d Omar Acevedo of Hurricane, was also helped by "Pennies by the Inch. When Omar played too hard or became stressed, his heart would pump too fast and he would get dizzy or faint. Physicians found he had an abnormally rapid heart rate which was surgically corrected. Today, Omar can bike and play ball without getting dizzy or fainting.
