My NICU Graduate's JourneyJJ was born at 31 weeks exactly. 2 lb 14 oz. Thankfully nothing was wrong with her her. She just needed time to grow. Her doctor's called her "A model NICU citizen." After 6 weeks we were allowed to go home. Nothing like taking your 5 lb baby into the big world but she has thrived ever since.
What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?She is the sweetest kindest kid I know. Even though she was a preemie she conquered all milestones and challenges thrown her way. And this year she passed kindergarten with flying colors.
