On this week’s episode, we have the honor of sharing part 2 of Jules’ NICU journey with her daughter, Juliana! When Jules was 25 weeks pregnant, her and her husband were hit in a head-on collision by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel. After a one hour ambulance ride and close monitoring at the hospital, they discovered that her placenta had abrupted 70 percent from the impact of the crash. Juliana was delivered 12 hours after the accident via emergency c-section at 25 weeks.

After 105 days in the NICU and a life-saving brain surgery, they embarked on their journey at home as a family! After they were home, Juliana was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. Throughout this episode Jules shares about their first moments together at home, how her and her husband processed Juliana’s initial diagnosis and how they continue to advocate for Juliana today, and also how they have healed and grown as a couple.

We hope that this episode affirms any medically complex NICU mamas listening that you are not alone. You can do this and have a sisterhood walking this journey with you! To listen to Jules' Part 1 episode, head here.
