My NICU Graduate's Journey
Amias has come such a long way. He is my first born child and him being a premie gave me and experience and taught me so much all while being a first time mom. From being so tiny to now being 11 years old and almost as tall as me. From struggling to feed and gain weight to now eating me out of house and home. We experienced many trials and tribulations and continue to persevere

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
What makes me proud is that Amias does not let anything hold him back. He continues to grow and become more intelligent each day. He has had so many struggles since birth but does not let that affect him and instead uses it to fuel himself and push him to be the best possible.
