My NICU Graduate's Journey
Baby Charlie was born at 24 weeks weighing only 1 pound 12 ounces, being born so tiny came with a lot of medical issues that he overcame and is still fighting some battles but he’s one strong baby after a lot of doctors nurses and prayers we got to come home after 103 days in the NICU we wouldn’t have our precious baby today if it wasn’t for the power of power and Dr chopp when he was born I was told they weren’t sure if he would make it but Dr chopp immediately got to work and got him stabilized. He is now 5 months old. 3 months in the NICU taught us a lot as a family it was a long hard journey but we love our story. His NICU team was amazing. All of his nurses went above and beyond to make sure baby Charlie had a great NICU stay we are so thankful for his nurses and love them so much. He misses the cuddles from his nurses! 2 months home and we are loving it!
