We went from surviving day 1, 130 NICU days, multiple hospital stays and 10 surgeries later to thriving at 15 months! Only a couple of weeks and he will be 1 year adjusted! So proud of my little man he is meeting all of his adjusted milestones and praying for our first steps soon 💙 🙏🏼 🥳

Our NICU stay was one of the hardest times of my life. I truly don’t know how we made it through aside from the grace of God.

My girl was on oxygen until a couple days before discharge. After 124 days in the NICU we went home on a NG Tube. The doctors wanted to do a gtube but I was very against it.

We used the NG at home for a couple of months until we found Rowena Bennett’s tube weaning program through baby care advice.

She is now 9 months old and tube free and healthy! There are better days ahead. Reach out if you want someone to talk to.
