My NICU Graduate's Journey
Isaac (Ike) was unexpectedly born six weeks early on January 26th, 2025.
He may have been small but he immediately showed how big his spirit was when, 12 hours after birth, he was off the ventilator and breathing on his own.
48 hours later his IV was out.
In less than a week, he was off his feeding tube and eating on his own.

Three weeks after his surprise arrival, we were able to bring our little fighter home to join his grandparents and two year old sister.
We are so incredibly proud of our boy and how he continues to thrive and show his strength every day as a healthy three month old!

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
Despite his rough start, Ike has fought so hard every step of the way and has been such a sweet, laid-back, good natured little guy throughout the whole process, even when every day included being poked and prodded by nurses, doctors, and specialists.
