NICU Hospital for my journey
Cook Children Medical Center

My NICU Graduate's Journey
She was born with CDH. She was on ecmo for 8 days of life. Then at 2 months old she got a trach due to her bad right lung from CDH. She spent 254 days in this hospital. She was the longest baby to stay in her unit. She is now walking and on the road to get her trach taken out on June 26th of this year.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
That is defeated all the odds placed against her. When I found out her diagnosis at 34 weeks pregnant, they couldn’t tell me if she was going to make it or not. It’s By the grace of God that she is still with us.
