My NICU Graduate's Journey
Vinny was born with his lungs not fully developed. He turned blue shortly after being delivered. He was rushed to the NICU and soon after he had surgery on both lungs. He was not able to breath without support. After 15 long days he was finally able to come home.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
Vinny is a fighter. He is so strong and able to accomplish anything he sets his mind to. I’m so proud of him. He will be turning 10 this year!
