Redeemer Baby Family Makes Incredible Donation to Redeemer Health's NICU

Hunter Michael was born unexpectedly at 1:50pm on January 14th, 2021. He was born at 24 weeks gestation weighing 1 pound 11 ounces and spent 127 days in Holy Redeemer's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). This handsome little boy overcame many challenges and is now doing very well and meeting all of his milestones.

He recently celebrated his 1st birthday with family and friends. When asking his parents about their experience, they said "having a baby early is the scariest thing we have ever been through. The uncertainty that comes with every day was torture, but the NICU staff made all that bearable. They are the most amazing people and we wouldn't be where we are today without all of them. We are forever grateful.

While Hunter was there they would give us books to read to him since we couldn't hold or do much with him at first so that helped us bond. We just wanted to make sure other parents had that opportunity also. So for Hunter's 1st birthday we asked all of his guests to donate books in lieu of gifts to be donated to the NICU so other families could enjoy some bonding time with their little miracles also."

Happy birthday to Hunter and his family! Thank you for sharing your incredible journey and for the donation to the NICU!
