My NICU Graduate's Journey
Zoey was born on January 23, 2025 with her twin brother Edward. We spent 51 days in the NICU, and then 9 days home just to spend 19 more days in the CICU.
She was born with Trisomy 21, congenital hypothyroidism, dysplasic kidney, and congenital heart disease. Zo has been through surgery for a g-tube and Open Heart Surgery.
She’s a survivor and is thriving now.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
She’s the bravest person I’ve ever known and she’s only four months old.
