My NICU Graduate's Journey
She was not expected to live more than a few months. We were told she would never see, hear, walk, talk or understand who we were. She was as smart as could be, so funny, best smile and laugh. She walked with a walker and communicated with a communication device. She went camping, fishing, canoeing, hiking, ice skating, bike riding and went swimming. She was in the ocean 14 times. Went to Disney and all the theme parks. Was on White face. We included her in everything and she did it all!

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
She was a very strong, determined, happy girl. The light of our lives!
