My NICU Graduate's Journey
Paige was born at 34 weeks(6 weeks early). The NICU nurses cared for her when I could not. I was sick for the first 3 days. The nurses made a beautiful card with her foot prints for my first Mother’s Day. That meant the world to me since I was discharged home without my daughter on my first Mother’s Day. I was so very appreciative of all doctors and nurses of the NICU.

What makes you proud of your NICU graduate?
My daughter is growing into a beautiful, loving young lady. She loves basketball and aspires to play in college. She has overcome ADHD with learning disabilities and keeps a 3.92 gpa.
