My NICU Graduate's JourneyAt 28 weeks exactly, baby Mario came into this world to change our lives. It was the toughest 145 days of my life. Leaving the hospital every night was very painful and heartbreaking. But we knew he was in the hands of wonderful doctors and nurses.
What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?Even though we didn’t have much hope in the development of baby Mario, he has proven us that he is here to fight and to thrive through everything.
