My NICU Graduate's JourneyKairi was born at 28 weeks with no fluid or oxygen and born septic. She was a tiny 2 lbs, but she was mighty! She stayed in the NICU for 2 months when she finally graduated. She is now a special needs 13 year old who loves everyone. She's never known a stranger just a friend she hasn't met yet.
