My NICU Graduate's Journey
Our sweetheart was born at 32 weeks due to pre-eclampsia. She was 3 lbs. and had to stay 6 weeks in NICU. She had to eat through a feeding tube and I remember when she was too small for a diaper. She’s currently 28 months old and is the happiest and healthiest child I know.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
She’s a warrior in my eyes. She has fought hard, even in daycare amongst her peers. She’s now bilingual and in the top of her class. No matter what type of day I’m having she will forever bring joy to my heart.
