Please enjoy Preemie Prints' families’ inspirational story & photos.
Consider supporting our mission to share hope with families who have a baby born prematurely or critically ill. We thank our supporters, Preemie Prints volunteers, and donors for allowing us to continue touching the lives of NICU, preemie, and angel families.
We pray these special memories from Preemie Prints
will help families heal and remember how strong
they were in overcoming their NICU journey together.
A NICU STORY | THOUGHTS FROM MOM
“We were first admitted for respiratory issues. Beckham was on CPAP for 24 hours then nose tube air for a few days. After a couple days in the NICU he spiked a temp. The doctor recommended a spinal tap. Once they were doing the spinal temp he stopped breathing and had to be revived! They instantly started rounds of antibiotics and placed a PICC line. Once lab results came back it Turns out our poor little man had viral meningitis. We stayed for another week and a half so beck could regain his strength and also deal with feeding issues.”

Beckham’s photo session was taken and donated by Preemie Prints volunteer photographer, Katie.
The six month portrait session for the Gans family occurred on a
beautiful evening at Ault Park in Cincinnati, OH. The Gans family was so sweet
and NICU graduate Beckham was such an adorable six month! His big blue eyes and
curiosity were fun to photograph! I really enjoyed spending time and getting to
know the Gans family. We worked together to make sure the children were happy
and smiling for the portraits. The Gans family will now have beautiful family
portraits that they will be able to treasure for the rest of their lives.”
