For Dakin family, holidays bring a mix of emotions
This holiday season will take on special meaning for the Dakin family. Baby Leo will celebrate his first Christmas at home, after spending all of last December and beyond in the neonatal intensive care unit at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla.
Leo was one of three triplets, but his two sisters passed away on the day he was born. CBS 8 covered the inspiring story of how mom Aly Dakin and family have navigated great loss and joy, while also giving back to others facing similar challenges. The NICU at Scripps La Jolla is operated as a partnership between Scripps and Rady Children’s Hospital.
