Danielle Olivera’s Son Born 10 Weeks Early Remains in Stony Brook NICU

Parents say the newborn is stable with an expected two- to three-month hospital stay before he can go home.

Overview

  • The couple’s son, Aidan Santos Heavey, was born June 21 after Danielle Olivera went into labor unexpectedly and was transferred by ambulance to Stony Brook for emergency care.
  • Aidan arrived 10 weeks premature and is receiving specialized neonatal intensive care for the early birth.
  • Danielle and partner Eoin Heavey report that the baby and parents are doing well and have publicly thanked the nurses and doctors at Stony Brook Medicine.
  • The pair have shared first photos and frequent Instagram updates, saying they are reading supportive messages from fans and leaning on loved ones during the hospital stay.
