My NICU Graduate's JourneySkylar and Eli are 2 of 3 triplets but unfortunately lost their sister before birth. They were born at 32 weeks. Eli was born at just under 4 pounds and Skylar just under 3, they were so tiny. Eli stayed 35 days and Skylar stayed 70 days in the NICU.
What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?We are so proud of our babies. Skylar endured Covid, a blood infection and a bacterial infection all in the same week while her brother was in the process of being discharged. Skylar was a warrior from the start, she shared a placenta with her sister who passed away and subsequently stopped growing. She had a long road ahead of her and came out the other side incredibly strong.
