My NICU Graduate's Journey
Buddha was born 5 weeks early at a whopping 12lb 4ozs but was not ready for the world just yet. We fought hard for a month to breath on our own and balance our blood sugar because this little giant was compensating for his diabetic mother by producing insulin for he and her so when separating them it took him a minute to find a balance. Buddha has grown like a weed and has stayed 100% healthy since leaving the NICU and we could not be more proud!

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
He is a smart and compassionate child and has never let his delayed start interfere with his growth
