My NICU Graduate's Journey
Preston was born six weeks early. He was transferred to local hospital then flown back to birth hospital where they found out he had a stroke at two weeks old, brain bleed, blood clot in his brain, epilepsy and stage IV hydrocephalus. Now, he has quadriplegic cerebral palsy and other issues. He's survived a lot. He's alive and happy! My God never fails!

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
He's a fighter! He's truly my angel. No matter what goes on he just handles it so much better than anyone I've seen. I couldn't go through what he has gone through. I want to be tough like him.
