My NICU Graduate's Journey
Oliviyah was born at 37 weeks and diagnosed with Micrognathia (small jaw) and a cleft palate. She spent 123 days in the Nicu. At 2 months she had jaw surgery to bring her jaw forward and at 3 months she has epiglottiplasti at UNC chapel hill. My baby has been through so much in her little life. She still has one more surgery to go, and that’s to fix her cleft palate.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
OliviyahReign is stronger than anyone I know. I am so proud of the milestones she has made. She has since gotten her pins out from her jaw surgery. She loves to eat, play and just smile.
