His first three month of life were spent in the NICU.

Fortunately, Yakima is fortunate to have amazing care right here in town. Both with Saywer, medically speaking, and empowering comfort and confidence to the family.

Once he was out of NICU, he could continue with follow-up appointments at Children's Village.
