My NICU Graduate's JourneyLuca was born at 28 weeks gestational and weighed 1lb 7oz on 11/02/2024. He is our warrior and fought through the entire 88 days in the NICU. He is now 6 months and thriving.
What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?We are proud of Luca because he overcame all obstacles and against all odds he always fought hard. I never knew something so tiny could be so strong. The reason I was so strong throughout this journey is because my little 1lb warrior was strong enough for us both. He continues to grow stronger with each passing day and we love him more and more.
