My NICU Graduate's Journey
Layton was born at 26 weeks weighing 1 lb 15 oz. He stayed in the NICU for 106 days. He had his share of battles that he had to overcome in the NICU with a lot of set backs, but he left the NICU a healthy 8 pound baby with zero problems, which is a miracle for us.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
I am proud of my NICU graduate, because he has overcome so much and never let a smile leave his face. He is now 2 years old and extremely smart for his age. I’m proud of him for overcoming every odd against him and proving all the “what ifs” wrong and being advanced for his age since he was born!
