My NICU Graduate's Journey
Caden was born at 35 weeks 4 days but weighed 8 lbs 14 oz. His APGAR score was 2. He came out not breathing. He spent 38 days in the NICU, battling jaundice, low blood sugars, enlarged heart, arrhythmia, and digestive issues.
He was cleared of all heart problems at 3 years old and is graduating preschool near the top of his class.

What makes you proud of your NICU graduate?
He sings, plays baseball, and keeps us laughing. If it wasn’t for the memory, you’d never know how rough his life started! He’s a joy
