My NICU Graduate's Journey
Born at 27 Weeks, 1lb, Savannah “came out fighting”! She spent 3 months in the NICU with the amazing team at Penn State Hershey Medical Center, trying out every breathing machine (sometimes twice!) while she grew!
Though she came home on oxygen you’d never know it, as she loves to sing Sunday school and all the Disney songs, scream on rollercoasters, and spell words over and over in preparation for kindergarten this fall.
Her favorite thing to do is Irish step dance with her McGinley friends and she wants to be a world champion one day! When she grows up she wants to teach and she spends her playtime teaching her toys!

What makes you proud of your NICU graduate?
Savannah has grown into a beautiful, healthy, smart, and adventurous little girl. We are most proud of her determination to be her best, the love she shows for others, and her kind and gentle spirit!
