My NICU Graduate's Journey
Oliver was born premature at 32 weeks. Weighing just 3lb 14oz, Oliver began his journey. He was on a bipap, then graduated to supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula. He required to be fed via ng tube. He was on bilirubin lights on and off for weeks. Oliver spent 60 days in the NICU with his parents by his side, taking shifts every day and night. Oliver worked so hard just to be here and continues to work hard every day. He has level 2 autism spectrum disorder and requires more support than other children his age. He is a happy, healthy boy and we are so proud of him!

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
Oliver has worked so hard from day one just to be here. He has come so far and we are so proud of him. He has defied many odds and continues to thrive!
