My NICU Graduate's JourneyAtlas was born at 23 weeks. He stayed in the NICU for 105 days and has absolutely thrived. Atlas is my great-nephew, my husband and I took custody of him when he was 18months old. Since then he's grown and been loved by his 7 siblings. We don't know what we'd do without him in our lives. We're so grateful for the nurses and doctors that cared for him during his time there. Having Atlas in our lives has been a miracle and a blessing.
What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?Atlas weighed 1lb 13oz at birth. He never struggled or had any major health issues. He's fought hard to be here and we are so proud of him!
