My NICU Graduate's Journey
Was only in the NICU for 5 days. Had a feeding tube for one day. He was 4lbs 6 oz. Born at 35 weeks. At first he had easy time gaining wait until about 5 months. He’s now 10 months old. He’s been in and out of the hospital this year due to bronchitis, para influenza and he was just recently diagnosed with sleep apnea and tracheomalacia. He is currently on oxygen at night. He’s gaining weight better but in the low percentile for a 10 month old. He’s a little fighter and a wild child

What makes you proud of your NICU graduate?
He loves to play and is a little fighter. With his breathing problem you would never know because of all the energy and smiles he has
