My NICU Graduate's Journey TJ was born with a genetic condition known as **Noonan Syndrome (PTPN11)**, a diagnosis that has shaped our world and our mission.
The most significant challenge we faced was navigating NICU without any prior medical knowledge. He had multiple things going on of course that is what NICU is all about, we where 92 days in NICU TJ was able to leave NICU eating by bottle and without breathing support.
What makes you proud of your NICU graduate?He is the meaning of resilience, we take it day by day. Even though the doctors said he would not be doing many thing he has thrived and in his time has done them like eating by mouth and walking!
