Cabell Huntington Hospital

My NICU Graduate's Journey
Caleb was born 5 1/2 weeks early on 9/11/05. He weighed 4 lbs 10 ounces. He spent 11 days in NICU. At one point he was removed from the incubator too early & could not regulate his temperature. He stopped breathing, but fortunately we got him back. We took him home and by 6 months, you'd never know he was a NICU baby. Caleb graduates from High School this June & has been on the honor roll every semester since his freshman year. We are so proud of the young man Caleb has become. He is kind, considerate, & loves to talk to people!!

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
He is a wonderful person. Empathetic, caring & doesn't give Mom & dad any trouble!!
