She continued, “Since birth, we’ve spent time in the NICU, attended countless appointments which are still ongoing, undergone testing and started medications. I recently brought them home a week ago, but our journey is far from over. Through every high and low, I choose faith over fear, resilience over doubt, and gratitude for every blessing along the way. I will give my girls every opportunity to thrive. I will always fight for them and advocate for their needs.”
