My NICU Graduate's Journey
My girl was born at 33 weeks due to HELLP syndrome. She was tiny, but strong and mighty. She had no trouble with breathing, but had some help with eating and growing. Even then, the nurses said how feisty she was and she has lived up to that ever since!

What makes you proud of your NICU graduate?
She has stayed on track or even ahead developmentally despite being born early and she has always had a personality bigger than her tiny body!
