My NICU Graduate's Journey
Emma was born at 29+2 during Winter Storm Uri when Texas had no power. This little fighter started her journey on a CPAP, but quickly needed a chest tube and the assistance of an oscillator. After 72 days, Emma and her identical twin sister both graduated from the NICU - a few days before their due date.

What makes you proud of you NICU graduate?
Once Emma came home she hit every developmental milestone with ease - she has absolutely stunned both her daddy and mommy.
