My NICU Graduate's Journey
Judah was born at 24 weeks 1 day. He weighed 1 pound 9 ounces. He was born October 11 and stayed in the NICU until the end of January. He had a drain tube put in his intestines, because it was leaking, within a week of being born. He came home with a feeding tube. Since then he has gotten his feeding tube out and eats normally. He is autistic and has adhd. He is in kindergarten and does have some delays, but he is learning.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
He is a fighter. He went though a lot at such a fragile state, but has made leaps and bounds since then. He is smart and has a great sense of humor.
