My NICU Graduate's Journey
Maddie was born 10 weeks early weighing 2 Lbs 9 Oz. She endured infections, blood transfusions, congestive heart failure, surgery and silent aspirations. Maddie’s NICU journey was filled with a lot of ups and downs. She is left with Cerebral Palsy, Polyventricular Leukomalecia and Developmental delay.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
Maddie has a lot of qualities that I admire her for possessing. The ones that I am most proud of are her drive and determination. She always pushes through adversity with a smile and grace.
