My NICU Graduate's Journey
McKenzie Rae born at 35 weeks weighing 4lbs 14oz. She spent 31 days in the NICU. She struggled with feedings and her heart rate wouldn't regulate. Her monitors were constantly going off. It was a back and forth of when we would be able to take her home. Every time we took 3 steps forward something would happen to push us 2 steps back.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
McKenzie has turned into such an amazing young lady who has the BIGGEST heart. She is also a great big sister.
