My NICU Graduate's JourneyLexi, our lucky one, was born on St Patricks Day 2024. She was born at 32 weeks, weighing 4 lbs. We spent just under a month in the NICU. When it was time to learn to feed, it was a struggle. She would tire out so quickly, and have to be fed the rest through her tube. One day, it just clicked. After that, she just had to go a spell of time with no “Brady” episodes, and then she was a graduate!
What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?I am so incredibly proud of every thing she does. Every milestone feels miraculous. You learn to celebrate the little things in the nicu, and that has never left me.
