My NICU Graduate's Journey
Liam was born at 32+5 after my preeclampsia took a worsening turn, 4lb 5oz 17in and spent 31 days in the NICU. 7 of them on oxygen the rest learning to eat and grow. He quickly grew and is now a bright, happy 3.5 year old who’s in the 98th percentile for height and a bright light to everyone he meets !

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
Liam has done so well since his NICU stay, surpassing every goal they said we would expect from a preemie. He does have a speech delay but otherwise has no delays and even surprised us all hitting milestones on time not age adjusted !
