My NICU Graduate's Journey
Our brave little man spent 85 days in the NICU after being born extremely premature at 27 weeks weighing 1lbs 5oz. He was diagnosed with severe IUGR (growth restriction) causing him to be born so early.

What makes you proud of your NICU graduate?
Every single breath he takes, every cry, every smile. Everything about this boy makes us incredibly proud. He’s faced more in his 8 months of life than most will in their entire life. I are incredibly grateful and blessed to have him in our lives.
