My NICU Graduate's Journey
Ann-Weslee was born with Trisomy 21, spent 3 weeks in the NICU for respiratory issues, jaundice and for observation of her heart. After her NICU stay she had heart surgery for a coarctation of the aorta at 2 months old. Her NICU team and nurses were all so amazing. They helped me set up every appointment she needed to ensure her success, which took so much worry and stress off of me. Now a year old she is healthy and thriving.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
She has been so strong through this last year and has worked so hard in physical and occupational therapy to achieve her goals and meeting her milestones.
