My NICU Graduate's Journey
Ryleigh was born at 30 1/2 weeks due to me having severe pre-eclampsia. She weighed 2lbs 6oz and was 15 inches long. Ryleigh was a rockstar in the NICU but stayed for 6 weeks to grow and learn to feed with a bottle. The journey was scary but I’m so thankful for the nurses, doctors, and staff at St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson, NY. They helped Ryleigh thrive and be the 6 year old amazing child she is today!!

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
Ryleigh thrives in the NICU and continues to thrive each and everyday. She has exceeded all of our hopes and dreams for her and that was due to the NICU Staff when she was born.
