My NICU Graduate's Journey
Katelyn was as born 10 weeks early and was a fighter. She did well in the NICU at CMH in Ventura, CA overcoming many obstacles during her stay there for 7 weeks. During the 7 weeks it was an emotional roller coaster. My husband and I were at her side every waking moment and very blessed we were able to be there.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
I’m so grateful to have Katelyn as my daughter. She is a very kind , giving and loving young girl who cares about everyone. She loves learning new things. She is a black belt in taekwondo. Loves to dance and is learning how to play the violin. She has a younger brother who she has an incredible bond with and loves to teach him things and play games with him.
