My NICU Graduate's JourneyEvan was born at 26 weeks weighing 2lb 1oz. There were many scary moment and ups and downs of his stay. He was in for a long 121 days and came home with a g tube for feeding. He didn’t need it for long. Now he’s 6yrs old and just graduated kindergarten. We are so proud of him.
What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?Our little fighter. At 2lb 1oz. fought his way out of the NICU. So delicate and fragile. Yet at a week old was lifting his head up. Showing me how strong he is. After 121 days we were able to go home. Now he graduated kindergarten and is doing so well. Making friends wherever he goes.
