My NICU Graduate's Journey
She was born at 34 weeks, right at the time she was learning to swallow on her own in the sack. She had to be put on a feeding tube and oxygen while in Nicu! She was a true fighter! She fought hard to get herself better to come home

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
She’s perfect! She was just recently diagnosed with Autism Spectrum at the age of 3. She’s still a true fighter, she’s learning new things everyday. It only get better from here. She’s the true definition of I’m going to come out on top
