My NICU Graduate's Journey
John has Noonan Syndrome and was born in respiratory distress, along with a heart defect and failure to thrive. In the past seven and a half years, he has been through nine surgeries and had a feeding tube his first five years. John is also a tubie graduate. But he has caught up in school and does regular kid things.
