My NICU Graduate's JourneyJordan was born at 26 weeks. She weighed 1 lb 13 oz and was 13 1/4” long. Like most micropremies she required a stay in the NICU. We were blessed with minimal respiratory support and was mainly a feed and grow until she developed NEC. Thankfully no surgery needed. She has very mild CP, and wasn’t diagnosed until age 16! She is now married and the mommy to my perfect little granddaughter!
What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?Her amazing strength! Jordan always has a smile on her face despite the obstacles she has faced!
