He may no longer fit in his onesie but almost 30 years later and he is back in the same NICU. Matt Cummins was a preemie – born at 32 weeks – and spent his first month in the NICU at Connecticut Children’s. Now, he’s a physician and was one of our amazing pediatric residents. “It’s been surreal coming back to the NICU,” Matt says. “I think the coolest part has been sharing my experience with the parents of my patients. The relief on their faces when they learn I was in the same boat as their newborn is awesome to see.” 💖💫
