My NICU Graduate's Journey
It was absolutely traumatizing and one of the most difficult times in my life but thank God he was able to come home after 1 week. It was very difficult not being able to take him home, but I knew deep down it was the best place for him to be while he got stronger. All the nurses were truly amazing and made us feel so assured each time we went to visit, which was everyday, sometimes twice a day.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
He has come so incredibly far, it’s like he’s not even the same baby anymore, he’s as big as Hulk now lol and completely fearless. I can’t even believe this was the same baby that was so tiny, weighing only 6 pounds flat.
