My NICU Graduate's Journey
LaKeisha was born at 27 weeks weighing 1 lb 12 oz and she spent 2 months in the NICU. She stopped growing so they had to take her early. She came home on oxygen and a heart monitor. She struggled with catching up to other kids her age but now she’s a beautiful 21 year old with a baby boy of her own.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
She overcame all the obstacles that was put in front of her and she strived to do her very best in n everything.
