My NICU Graduate's Journey
Elsie was with us the first 24 hours after she was born, until she started having brady-like episodes. Elsie had to be stimulated a couple times in order for her to breathe. She was in the NICU for 8 days around the holidays. Elsie had an eating tube, nasal canula, and an IV. Having a baby in the NICU is one of the most challenging things. My heart goes out to every little one and parent that has went through this challenge.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
I am so proud of my NICU graduate because she has overcome so many obstacles and continues to flourish and be a strong little girl.
