My NICU Graduate's Journey
Kaleb was born at 7 lbs. 3 oz. at 35 weeks. He was the biggest baby in the Nicu. But he also had quite a few problems because his kidneys and lungs were under developed. He was released from the NICU after a month but unfortunately, he had to go back into the PICU 3 weeks later due to a kidney infection.Now 13 1/2 years later he is the most wonderful amazing sweetest boy you can ever ask for. He’s involved in Boy Scouts and sports and church.

What makes you proud of your NICU graduate?
I am so proud of everything he has accomplished so far. He’s ranking up quickly in Boy Scouts. He gets good grades. He’s involved in ministry at church.
