My NICU Graduate's Journey
Madeline was born with Pierre Robin syndrome & spent her first 83 days in the NICU & had 3 surgeries within her first year of life (jaw lengthening & cleft palate repair) she had a specialized bottle used to feed, as she couldn’t nurse.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
Seeing Madeline smile & embrace her facial scars as it represents her resilience in life makes me proud!
