Nox's Brave Journey Home

Nox’s journey began on June 28, 2025. However, the worry of survival for Nox started when I had an emergency cerclage placed at 20 weeks due to already being 2 cm dilated.

Each day apart has stretched our hearts, but each milestone has stitched them back together

Aug 3 Nox hit 5 weeks yesterday! He’s done amazingly on the antibiotics and isn’t having the scary apnea spells anymore. He has an eye exam on Tuesday, where they’ll check to make sure everything is developing correctly. He’s also up to three pounds! Aug 5 Nox had his eye exam today, everything is right on track and they will follow up in two weeks. They will do an ultrasound on his abdomen tomorrow to make sure there isn’t anymore infection. If there is, they will do another
