My NICU Graduate's Journey
She was 9.5 weeks premature. She was stubborn from the beginning and a little fighter. She needed shots to help her lungs develop and a feeding tube. She had trouble regulating her body temperature, but the doctors and NICU nurses were amazing. They kept us informed every step of the way.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
She has always been determined and a hard worker with a loving heart. She earned her Master's Degree and works with individuals who are impaired and cannot advocate for themselves. She also makes sure to make the most out of every day and enjoys life to the fullest. She loves learning about different cultures and traveling.
