Patrick Bouvier Kennedy (August 7, 1963 – August 9, 1963) was the younger son of United States President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. He was born five and a half weeks prematurely by emergency caesarean section at the Otis Air Force Base Hospital in Falmouth, Massachusetts, with a birth weight of 4 lb, 10 1/2 oz (1.863 kg), and was transferred to Boston Children's Hospital where he died two days later of hyaline membrane disease. His obituary in The New York Times pointed out that, at that time, all that could be done "for a victim of hyaline membrane disease is to monitor the infant's blood chemistry and to try to keep it near normal levels. Thus, the battle for the Kennedy baby was lost only because medical science has not yet advanced far enough to accomplish as quickly as necessary what the body can do by itself in its own time". Patrick Kennedy(abt 1760-aft 1824). ...

The death of their son devastated the First Couple. Jacqueline found it difficult to cope in the weeks that followed the tragedy, and the President and his mother-in-law, Janet Auchincloss, feared she would have a nervous breakdown as a result. It brought the President and his wife closer than they had ever been before and only he brought her through the grief they shared. However, just under four months later, Jacqueline would lose her husband too (see the Kennedy Assassination). Janet Norton Lee Bouvier Auchincloss Morris (December 3, 1906—July 22, 1989) was the mother of United States First Lady Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis; she often stood in for her daughter as hostess for official White House functions; although as a socially conscious woman, she often felt that her...

Patrick Kennedy's death from hyaline membrane disease, now more commonly called respiratory distress syndrome, helped spark new public awareness of the disease and further research. As of 2004, the disease has an overall mortality of less than 15%--it is much less among mildly to moderately premature infants, such as Patrick. Also, treatment modalities are now widely available in developed countries, such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), pulmonary surfactant replacement, and improved respirator technology, that either did not exist or were unavailable in 1963, even to the child of the President of the United States. There are two forms of respiratory distress syndrome: ARDS, which is acute (or adult) respiratory distress syndrome or infant respiratory distress syndrome which is a complication of premature birth. ...
