NICU Hospital for my journeySpring Valley Hospital
My NICU Graduate's Journey They almost pulled her at 24 weeks but she made it to 28 weeks! Her journey was smooth after 1 day she was on room oxygen! Her brain scans where clean! Doctor told me she should have never made due to her placenta being on the part of a heart shaped uterus that receives little to no oxygen. Then both side started to remove from the uterus wall!
