Love, Miah

““Dear NICU Mama, As you heal and learn to hope again, please remember that none of this is your fault.

You are not being punished.

You did not do anything wrong.

Please do not beat yourself up. You did not hurt your child, you fought for them.

You are strong, and you are teaching your baby how to be strong too.

Love,
Miah

““My name is Miah Acevedo, and my son's name is Kian Anthony Acevedo. It took us 5 years to finally get pregnant. Kian was born on May 10th, 2020 at 24 weeks and 6 days. He weighed 1 pound 4 ounces and spent 103 days in the NICU. Kian fought through bronchopulmonary dysplasia, tracheal malasia, a face ulcer, multiple UTI’s, many infections both in his kidneys and blood, a PDA, GERD, failure for thrive, ROP, and he was intubated an estimated 7 different times. He was a fighter and would prove the doctors wrong constantly! Kian is a miracle. He is now almost 5 months old, 2 months adjusted, and weighs 7 pounds 4 ounces.”
