My NICU Graduate's Journey
Before Gus was born, they thought he might have dwarfism or down syndrome when he was born he was very sick with pneumonia and was having difficulty with his blood sugar and he had to spend three days in the NICU. He was small, but he continued to grow and he did not have either one of those conditions and he just graduated from college at WKU. He is doing really well.

What makes you proud of your NICU graduate?
Gus is very outgoing. He will do well with sports broadcasting. He’s working at the local WNKY station in Bowling Green. He loves sports and I’m very proud of him.
