My NICU Graduate's Journey
Owen was born at 31 weeks and weighed only 2lbs 9oz. He has always done things on his time and being born was no different. He was a fighter right from the beginning. He overcame many obstacles to grow big and strong to come home. He was on oxygen for many months after he came home but this did not slow him down at all.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
Owen's whole family is so proud of him and everything he does especially his mom and dad. He has great grades and works hard at school. Owen makes it a point to include everyone he meets. He loves to be helpful to his friends and family and wants everyone to be his friends. He plays the guitar and has become very good at this talent by practicing hard. He still does things on his own time but once he is ready there is no stopping him.
