My NICU Graduate's Journey
He was born at 22 weeks 4 days. He weighed 1 lb 6 Oz. 12 in long. He spent 3 months in the hospital when he came home he weight 6 lbs 1 Oz. On his first birthday he wasnt able to eat solids so I made him a banana pie instead of cake. He is now 9 years old and almost as big as me (his mom) he has told me how he wants to do every sport he can. While his athletic asthma does arise he does not let it stop him. He is doing excellent in school and always making his whole blended family proud!

What makes you proud of your NICU graduate?
How much he pushes himself to be better than the day before. How much he cares for his siblings and family.
