It was a very long road (96 days to be exact) until our son, Jake, came home from the NICU. He was born on 12/20/16 at 29 weeks gestation and weighed 2 lbs. 6 oz. He has come so far in these past 11 months and is thriving! We could not be more thankful for the angels in the NICU at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia who took care of our baby and helped him to become the trusting, sweet, active and healthy boy he is today! I can't believe we are about to celebrate 1 year of having our precious baby in our lives! We are so blessed to have the outcome that we did, and constantly think and pray for the NICU babies, parents and healthcare providers... we are reminded daily that miracles happen! Stay strong... these little babies have more fight in them than we can possibly imagine! We will never forget the time we spent in the NICU and the people who helped save our baby's life!
