My NICU Graduate's Journey
Cadence was a surviving twin, born at 28 weeks. She stayed in the NICU for 100 days before graduating the NICU. At 6 months old she underwent a heart valve balloon surgery and gtube surgery, she was also on oxygen for the first year of her life. At age 4 and a half she got surgery to get her gtube removed.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
She has overcome and accomplished way more then we thought possible and continues to fight and overcome new obstacles everyday.
