My NICU Graduate's Journey
Lily was an emergency c-section. She was on a CPAP for a while, because she was having trouble breathing. She had VSD, PDA, and HIE. She had trouble gaining weight. She was in the NICU for 9 days.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
What makes us proud is seeing how far she has come. She was diagnosed with autism, but it hasn’t stopped her. It might take her longer to hit milestones, but seeing her figure things out and how she figures it out in her own way makes us so happy for her. We love her sense of humor and imagination.
