My NICU Graduate's Journey
Our NICU journey was 14 days long. Theodore was born at 36 weeks due to placenta abruption. His lungs were underdeveloped but he’s a fighter! Now he is a healthy 5 year old ready to start kindergarten!

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
Theodore has been a strong little Teddy Bear over all his years. Coming into the world in a scary way, he has kept us on our toes. He was called “Teddy Bear” in the hospital and we always joke that he’s cute and cuddly but when he needs to be strong, he can take on the world!
