My NICU Graduate's Journey
Levi was born at 26 weeks, he was 11 inches long and 14.5 oz. Levi spent 236 days at Children's Hospital Colorado and was Flight For Life to the Denver campus when he was critically sick and he spent 5 weeks in Denver. Levi is such a warrior and he has defied many odds. Levi has Chronic Lung Disease, Pulmonary Hypertension, a swallowing disorder, a pediatric feeding disorder, and developmental delay. But that does not stop Levi from thriving and continuing to smile every day!

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
I am so proud of Levi. He was born so small, so fragile and the odds stacked against him but he continued to fight and is now a strong, happy little boy. Levi puts a smile on the face of anyone who meets him. He continues to grow and get stronger every day. He is meeting milestones and learning new things every day. Levi is the so kind and loving and I can not wait to see how he will change the world.
