NICU Hospital for my journeyKaiser Walnut Creek Medical Center
My NICU Graduate's JourneyLiam was 25+2 weighing 1lb 1oz. He was IUGR and born early due to preeclampsia. He was in the NICU for 159 days and came home on oxygen with a gtube. He had CLD, ROP, and PDA. He was on an oscillator for 45 days and was on oxygen until he was 18 months old. He is now five years old and is incredibly smart and funny. He’s a joy.
What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?He is so resilient. He has exceeded all expectations of him and climbed so many mountains in his five years while remaining a happy kid who is full of life.
