My NICU Graduate's Journey
My mom went into labor with me on 20 April 2021 and I was born May 1, 2021 at 3:57 AM. My mom had to have a C-section because I was in distress and her blood pressure was rising. After the emergency C-section, I had to be rushed to the NICU because my vitals were low. I had an infection, but they weren’t sure what type of infection so they put all these tubes in my body. I didn’t get to spend time with my mom and I remaining you until the infection cleared.
