My NICU Graduate's Journey
Liam is a former 24 weeker who was born a twin. In his now 2 years of life, he’s undergone over 50 surgeries/procedures. He is a NEC, DIC, Sepsis, and (suspected) meningitis survivor. He graduated from NICU after 208 long days between two NICU’s, and is now running, talking, eating, and breathing independently!

What makes you proud of your NICU graduate?
His willpower and drive to complete whatever it is that he’s doing. Wether that’s overcoming a health obstacle or running away from his people in a parking lot giggling like a maniac…
