Infinite is currently in 5 types of therapies (OT, PT, Feeding therapy, Play therapy and Speech). Infinite is happy and thriving with the love and support of her family.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
I am proud if Infinite because in spite of all she's been through all her frustrations, her pain, her medications, her many doctors and therapy appointments she manages to smile, to laugh, to bring joy to others and she's taught others to be kind, empathetic and patient. She's been an inspiration to so people.
