What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
I am so proud of my granddaughter because she is overcoming all her stumbling blocks despite all of her disabilities. Her nickname is Minnie Mae. She is a joy and blessing to so many people all over. People have said watching her grow has helped them with their lives and helped some smile again.
