My NICU Graduate's Journey
I first thought I was having Braxton Hicks at 3 months and it turned out to be actual labor. Throughout many ER and doctor visits I was able to carry for a couple more months. The night we went in I was told "if you have him tonight he won't make it." May water broke and we were transferred to OSU Medical Center where I ended up having a 2 month premier. This weekend he'll be turning 18 and the following weekend be graduating and going off to college to play soccer.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
He started his journey a fighter and has never given up on any of his dreams! We couldn't be more proud!
