My NICU Graduate's JourneyBenjamin was born at 24 weeks weighing in at 755 grams on January 13 2023. He remained in the NICU for 8 months before being able to come home. He is an oxygen dependent 24/7 with a chronic lung disease from prematurity. Benjamin is now 2 years and 4 months old. Growing strong and healthy.
What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?One of our proudest moments has been to see Benjamin grow from being very tiny sick and fragile to now being strong and healthy, Benjamin has overcome many of his health problems with the remainder of just one which doctors are working hard to overcome his oxygen dependency
