NICU Hospital for my journeyNortheast Georgia Medical Center
My NICU Graduate's JourneyAbigail was born at 23 weeks 0 days, which was right on the cut off for viability for the hospital she was born at. She made the cut off by 5 hours and 50 minutes after I was on bedrest for 2 weeks after an emergency cerclage. She spent 133 days in the NICU and came home on oxygen and monitors. She has continued to amaze everyone who has met here with her sweet demeanor and loving heart.
What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?Abigail never gives up even with her multiple lingering health issues. She has the sweetest most giving heart. She has fought her whole life and you wouldn’t know it by talking to her, because she loves her life just as it is.
