My NICU Graduate's Journey
Edward, my twin A journey was lot of ups and downs born 26 weeks spent 6 months which felt like forever. In the NICU he dealt with a lot. He caught MRSA, a bone infection, which infected his leg now so that leg is shorter than other. He had a lot of desets, etc.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
Seeing him walk and try to run is amazing and even though he did get a diagnosis of Autism, it still amazing how far he came. He got a Gtube in NICU, came home and ate and drink where they took it out.
