My NICU Graduate's Journey
Luke was born at 29 weeks. Gannon had HELLP syndrome and a preterm birth was the only option.
Luke spent 54 days in the Nicu hooked up to oxygen for most of those days, two holes in his heart and chronic lung disease.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
Luke has battled though all of the setbacks he has endured. Luke is a very healthy eight year-old boy who loves to play ice hockey and baseball. Lucas is incredibly smart and has aspirations of becoming an astronaut.
