Bauer was born at just 22 weeks gestation, and the progress he's made at Aveanna is a true miracle.
He began services after he was discharged out of the NICU. After coming home with a tracheostomy, ventilator, and a g-tube for feeding, his family sought stability for their son's complex care journey. Nurse Christy was their answer, supporting Bauer's family through setbacks and celebrating his victories over the years.
"Nurse Christy has walked alongside us through some of the hardest seasons of our lives," said Bauer's family. "Thank you for believing in Bauer and for caring for him in a way that went far beyond your job title. You will always be a part of his story.”
As Bauer graduates from services at Aveanna and continues to grow into a busy, thriving boy, his next adventure is already on the horizon: the start of Pre-K! We cannot wait to see all the amazing things he'll continue to do.
