My NICU Graduate's Journey
Cassandra was born at 34 weeks. She’s been 17 days in the Nicu. She had a very hard time keeping down formula until the nice wonderful doctor that worked up at the CMC Nicu unit in Scranton, Pennsylvania suggested that they put formula into her bottle so that she can keep her formula down. The Nicu staff was wonderful.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
That’s a smart, wonderful teenager that she has grown into. She has a wonderful, caring heart. She makes me laugh and smile every day, and I don’t know what I would do without her off and her brother in my life..
