My NICU Graduate's Journey
Our NICU graduate’s journey was one of courage and perseverance. Born prematurely at 27 weeks, she spent 67 days in the NICU, fighting through challenges like respiratory, jaundice, feeding difficulties, and other medical conditions. Every day brought uncertainty, but also hope. The incredible NICU team became like family, and we celebrated each small milestone—from their first breath without support to finally coming home. Today, she’s thriving, and her strength continues to amaze and inspire us.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
I’m proud of my NICU graduate for their strength, resilience, and the incredible fight they showed from the very beginning. Watching them overcome challenges that most never face reminds me every day how strong and determined they are. Their journey inspires me and gives me hope.
