    1. So young and so accomplished already!

      Best to you and your family, and to him meeting his new home soon!

      That is adorable beyond words! ❤️ congrats on the little guys recovery! Do they still dress up the tiny babies in Halloween costumes? i always see it on the news every year and it’s so cute haha!

    3. Well isn’t that utterly and almost unbearably adorable.

      Hope you and your family including this beautiful little one are all on a solid path to healing, happiness and health.

    4. This isn’t mildly interesting, this is awesome!

      I hope your little guy’s health continues to improve.

    5. Congratulations and very happy to hear. Our son was in the NICU 3 days which was the most stressful of our lives.

      I hope he has a long healthy life 😃

      I’ve been there. Over twenty years ago. This too will pass. I don’t know your son’s condition so take that with a grain of salt. But time will go on and you will look back at this someday.

    7. Scared the hell out of me when I saw my son for the first time being rushed to the NICU in an incubator……22 years later, college graduate, and Eagle Scout it has been and continuing to be one fantastic journey. So….. sit down, strap in and enjoy the adventure. There are great things ahead….best of luck.

    8. I hope and pray that your son will continue to grow and get stronger. I love that little cap! Bless you both.

      Hey! I was a real real sick baby. But since then, I’ve thrived..Mom says I got it out of the way early! Now I’m 42 and can’t really remember ever being sick!! This little dudes got a lot of positive vibes coming his way.

    10. Oh, congratulations to your strong boy! Keep going, little one. My best to you and yours as you celebrate this important milestone and all the many more to come.

      My son was 8 weeks early and spent 5 weeks in the NICU. He’s 28mo now and healthy as can be. Yours is going to be great.

      That’s awesome. Spent time there too as a baby after needing immediate surgery. Hope your little one gets to go home soon!

    13. I’m a NICU nurse and love seeing the little victories! Don’t forget to take care of yourself while your baby finishes his hospital stay so you can be your best for him when y’all are home.

    14. I remember that day with my little one! He is 17 and a half now, and graduating high school next year. It feels like it was yesterday that he was graduating out of the NICU. Mine was at the hospital for 17 days, he hasn’t had any medical problems due to being a preemie. I know every preemie is different but I hope yours is like mine in that way (problem free).
