My NICU Graduate's JourneyKaladin was born at 32 weeks in Casper, WY. He had no heartbeat and was not breathing. It took 5 hours of resuscitation before he was stable enough to be life flighted to Denver, CO. We spent 37 days in the NICU. Kaladin is now 6.5 years old and graduating kindergarten in a few weeks. He's very smart and if you didn't know his birth story, you'd never know the rough start he had.
What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?Kaladin has defied all odds to be here. He has gone through 3 surgeries and a couple hospital stays. He's always been such a fun happy kid. He doesn't let the hard things slow him down
