My NICU Graduate's Journey
Onyx was born at 30 weeks 2 days gestation. He spent 33 days in the NICU. At 6 days old he became septic, had pneumonia, and we almost lost him. They told us when he was born he had microcephaly & would likely have major developmental delays. Onyx is now 3.5 years now, and in perfect health! He knows all his colors, animals, ABC’s, and can even count to 20. He is our miracle!

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
His strength. He overcame so much just to be here! The most resilient little boy I’ve ever met,
