My NICU Graduate's Journey
34 weeker, did well through NICU. Discharged after 34 weeks. Mommy Aimee collapsed and died of post pregnancy heart complications and grandma, grandpa, and daddy are his team. He has a speech delay but he's catching up. He's neurodivergent, likely adhd, but no intellectual or motor disabilities. He's reading and mathing and one of the most loving boys I've ever met. He's creative, imaginative and takes, " I wonder, what if, let's try" to heart.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
He's kind, loving, smart, creative, imaginative, jokey, clever, persistent. He studies letters and words like he has a final tomorrow. ( hyperlexia is an adhd trait) He's just amazing
