My NICU Graduate's JourneyLuke was born at 34 weeks. He was 3 pounds 11 ounces and 17 inches long. He had complications with IUGR and Absent End Diastolic Flow. He spent 14 days in the NICU growing and learning to bottle feed. He caught onto everything much faster then we anticipated. He just needed some time to grow. We brought him home March 6, 2022 ❤️
What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?His resilience from birth. Being a preemie doesn’t stop at birth. He had to overcome many obstacles to be where he is today. Now you would never know he was born so early and at such a low birth weight!
