My NICU Graduate's Journey
Damian was born at 35 weeks due to preeclampsia. He came out not breathing and spent time in the NICU for 2 1/2 weeks. He has been through many challenges intellectually and physically but still defeating the odds! He is 3 now in preschool with an IEP and a Rock Star!!! He is loved and adored by many, helping him on this journey, watching him grow and rock every obstacle that comes his way!

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
How much he is learning and growing. Everything he does he accomplishes and super exceeds everyone’s expectations. He’s the sweetest boy and I’m so honored to be his mama!
