Nine years ago, Reesie needed some saving after he was born all quirky.A little premature with really underdeveloped lungs, Reesie was Mercy Flighted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Rogue Valley Medical Center.
After almost two weeks on the ventilator, Reesie pulled through like the (quarter of a million dollar) fighter we now know he is.
Every year since 2001, Reesie has joined hundreds of other thriving survivors at the Children's Miracle Network's Miracle Baby Reunion for cake, carnival games, face painting and a stroll past the NICU windows, where brand new miracle babies warm under blue lights.
Today we saw 10 week-old triplets -- all girls-- and Rees' one-on-one NICU nurse, Karen.
What a super special celebration, Reesie Roo!
