My NICU Graduate's JourneyShe was born at 24 weeks 1 pound 6 ounces. She stayed in the NICU for 10 months. She had bowl surgery when she was born. She had a colostomy bag for a few months. I was told she would have a rough life but god be the glory. She walks, talks, runs and live a normal life. I am very thankful for the doctors and nurses in the NICU.
What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?She is has beat all odds from what the doctors said she would be. She is a very bright young lady. Very loving and caring.
