My NICU Graduate's Journey
Lacey was born 27 weeks. She suffered a grade 3 brain bleed which led to the diagnosis of hydrocephalus requiring a vp shunt. We had a very long stay in the NICU. She has gone through so much some traumatic I cannot even talk about. This past September she was also diagnosed with autism.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
Lacey is the most beautiful intelligent little sassy princess I have ever met. She is super determined while very anxious at the same time, but she pushes through! She loves to color and draw and is super talented with her artwork! Strong is an understatement!!
