My NICU Graduate's Journey
Anthony was born four weeks early and was in the NICU for eight days. It was an emergency C-section so they had to make sure his lungs were developed and then he was jaundiced. He has had some medical issues including asthma and ITP (a platelets problem). Today, Anthony is finishing his second year of college.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
Anthony has grown so much from his early arrival. He did well in school and received a full scholarship to college.
