My NICU Graduate's Journey
Gracelynn was born at 29 weeks via induction. She weighed 2 pounds 7 oz. 15 inches long due to severe pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes. Her original due date was supposed to be December 24th, 2018. She spent 49 days in the NICU. She graduated the NICU earlier than expected. She came home November 29th 2018. Now, she's a very active 6 year old going into first grade, and is a competitive cheerleader. She's won a lot of medals plus a banner.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
Her strong will, go-getter attitude, she's unbelievably smart, creative, her sass for sure. She definitely has a never give up attitude.
