My NICU Graduate's Journey
Elijah was born prematurely at 28 weeks. He weighed only 2lbs 4oz and was 13 inches long. Elijah spent 70 days in NICU. During his stay, all the NICU nurses who cared for him called him, “Rockstar”.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
Every single day he proves doubters wrong. He is smart, kind, and NOTHING like doctors said he would be. He has graduated from NICU, Speech Therapy, and so much more! He literally rocks!
