I’ve been waiting to write this post, and the day has finally come - my 31 weeker is officially one year old.
Our NICU journey lasted 63 long and tumultuous days. Archer persevered through so much during that time: jaundice, fluid retention, severe anemia, torticollis, lung disease and plenty more. He was on and off oxygen support multiple times, and every day seemed to bring one step forward and 2 steps back.
While we were in the NICU, I found so much encouragement in the success stories other families shared. Those stories helped carry me through some really hard days, and I’m so happy to finally be able to share ours.
Today, Archer is a happy little boy who is meeting all of his milestones, and I’m feeling so incredibly grateful.
