My NICU Graduate's Journey
Jacob was born at 25.4 weeks after my water broke spontaneously. He was on the vent for 6wks. When we requested a transfer closer to home once he was a stable “feed and grow” on minimal oxygen, were told that we shouldn’t expect him to ever be a “normal” child.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
Jacob proudly serves our country. He never backs down to a challenge.
