“The NICU changes you.
You learn what every alarm means.
You memorize numbers on monitors.
You celebrate a few extra milliliters.
You learn that holding your own baby isn’t always guaranteed.
You go home without them.
Or you don’t go home at all.
You watch nurses care for your baby.
And you hope for the day you can finally take them home.
Some NICU stays are days.
Some are months.
Some babies come home.
Some never get the chance.
This month is for every tiny fighter and every NICU parent who will carry that experience forever.”

September is NICU awareness month. We honor & remember all of our NICU families we have been able to support & thank the incredible NICU nurses across the state we have been able to cross paths with.🤍
