My NICU Graduate's Journey
Tatum was born on 5/26/21 at 29 weeks 6 days while his mom was in a coma for Covid pneumonia. He was 2 lbs 9 oz and spent 71 days in the NICU. After he was born, his mother spent another 2 weeks in a coma. They finally met for the first time on 6/14/2021.

He and his mom fought hard to make it out the other side and they’re both thriving! Tatum and his older brother Easton are best buds. Tatum will be 4 in a few weeks and he is now a silly, stubborn, social butterfly who loves cars and lightning McQueen 🤍

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
He has never let his start affect his future! He has perseverance.
