My NICU Graduate's Journey
Our baby girl battled through 117 days in the NICU. She was born 2lbs and 5 ozs and developed Pyloric Stenosis. After her surgery she began to gain weight but it was a long struggle to get her to eat and gain weight. We went through 5 blood transfusions, multiple XRays, and a major abdominal surgery.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
I love how my baby girl never gave up and she is so happy. Despite all the struggles, delays, and pain she always has a smile on a face. She is beautiful, strong, wonderful, and brave.
