Megan Sanchez gave birth to Jay via Cesarean section on June 16, 2023, at 1:48 a.m. He was born more than three months premature. After birth, the micropreemie was whisked away to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Hoag Health
A handful of Hoag NICU staff are running the Hoag OC Marathon 5K along with Jay’s family and friends on Saturday evening at the Orange County Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa.
Kylie Collins and Makenna Augusto, Jay’s primary nurses in the NICU, wouldn’t miss the 5K. They cared for him until he was released in mid-October to go to Children’s Hospital of Orange County, where a gastronomy tube was installed.
