My NICU Graduate's Journey
My graduate had a long NICU with several setbacks. He was diagnosed with NEC and had been treated with antibiotics three times. He had breathing problems which he went home with oxygen. But the staff especially the nurses made his stay very memorable because he was loved by a few of them. He was a favorite because he was such a chill baby. He took on eating like a champ especially when he was introduced to the bottle. He grew daily and it was such a beautiful sight to see.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
He is a strong baby with everything he went through and continues to go through. He is thriving everyday with everything he does. Also just how much he grew.
