NICU Hospital for my journeySt. David's Medical Center - Central Austin
My NICU Graduate's JourneyPreeclampsia almost killed me and my daughter, and made my husband and me reimagine everything we had planned. We spent my baby shower, Christmas, and New Years in the hospital. Our tiny girl showed me what tough is and I'll never forget it. The NICU Club is one we never heard of or wanted to be a part of, but we grew so much from it.
What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?Where to begin... Junebug is going to leave a big footprint on this world, she already is! She's a thoughtful friend, so clever, and always savage! She sings and dances to Doja Cat, Ashnikko, and Beyonce. She won an award at her art school show. She has plans to open a purple veterinarian clinic when she's grown, and we just know she'll accomplish that and whatever else she puts her mind to!
