My NICU Graduate's JourneyEli spent a long 8 months in the NICU fighting infections, sicknesses, and many surgeries. He is a warrior and a miracle baby. Eli was born at 22 weeks & 6 days with a twin brother named Enzo who passed 18 days later. His journey was like a true roller coaster! One day he was ok the next day he wasn’t. He will forever be a fighter!
What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?The hard 8 months he spent in the NICU he fought so hard to be the strong baby he is today! The progress he’s made throughout is breathtaking. I just love his little life.
