My NICU Graduate's Journey
I went into labor at 32 weeks and we were flown in a helicopter to a bigger hospital where they tried to stop labor but couldn’t. He was born that night at 5lbs 1oz. He was on oxygen and a feeding tube for a couple days. He was really strong though and we were able to leave the NICU after only 9 days.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
He has a fighting spirit even now he is so strong and courageous.
