My NICU Graduate's JourneyBorn at 23 weeks 6 days on Sept 20th 2024 my baby weighed 1 pound 9 ounces. She overcame what the doctors said she most likely wouldn’t and here we are today!!! We came home one day after her due date on January 12th 2025!! We are on a little bit of oxygen & NG tube but not anything this strong girl can’t handle!
What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?Everything. My baby girl has been through more than anything I could ever imagine going through. I am so proud of her for it all & even though she won’t remember her NICU stay I know in the moments of those times it was very difficult & painful for her.
