My NICU Graduate's JourneyCharlotte was born at 25 weeks and 2 days, she weighted 1lb 10oz. When she was 17 mins old dr’s and nurses performed CPR for 3 mins.
From there she was on a ventilator, then Cpap.
During her 74 day NICU journey she saw countless Doctors, nurses and specialists. She had a multitude of procedures. Over came heart and lung issues. She came home at 36 weeks, and has been thriving ever since.
What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?Charlotte is a true fighter. She overcame so much and works hard everyday. She may be small even still at 9 years old but she is determined, smart, kind. She knows what she wants and works for it!
