My NICU Graduate's Journey
Iris' mommy's water broke at 23 weeks and Iris was born at 31 weeks. What was supposed to be a 2 month stay in the NICU turned into only 1 month! She did very well while she was there and was able to graduate from the program earlier than expected.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
I am very proud of Iris because for the last 3.5 years she has proved everyone wrong. Everything that we were told would be wrong she has continued to rise above! She will be starting 4k this year and I am so proud to be her mom!
