My NICU Graduate's Journey
My twins were born prematurely due to me having a seizure & now being diagnosed as epileptic! They have endured a lot of tests & procedures but they have come out so strong. In the hospital we learned one twin had a grade 3 brain bleed which eventually stopped but that was the hardest thing to deal with as a new parent. Later on she was diagnosed with CP as well but she is absolutely the most energetic girl ever. As micro preemies, they had so many difficulties developing which we still currently deal with but the journey is amazing

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
Throughout everything, they have never lost their smile, giggles and sweet personality! I’m so thankful they have each other to be able to go through this with. They are truly the best blessings in our lives!!
