My NICU Graduate's Journey
Charlotte was born 9 weeks early due to her mom having pre-eclampsia. She was 3 pounds even when she was born. She had a hole in her heart, a brain bleed, and severe lung development issues when she was born. She stayed in the NICU for the full 9 weeks and came home on oxygen for another couple of weeks. She overcame all of her issues and by preschool she was fully caught up developmentally and was even above average for height and weight!

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
Charlotte is a sweet girl who has a very creative mind. We are so amazed at everything she has accomplished so far!
