Values
"Today is a Good Day supported me during my NICU journey by reminding me I’m not alone.”
When several families were asked to describe the NICU experience, they all said the same thing: a scary roller coaster ride full of unknowns. It is through this shared experience that Today is a Good Day was born. Hear the full story from our founders and watch as others explain just how much our resources helped them through their NICU journey, and beyond.
22 Weeks
Keeley and Kambry are identical (Mono/Di) twins who were diagnosed with Twin To Twin Transfusion Syndrome in utero at 16 weeks gestation. Jade, their Mother, underwent surgery at 18 weeks gestation at the Cincinnati Fetal Center to correct the TTTS. The surgery was successful. This prolonged the pregnancy by 4 weeks and the girls were born 125 days premature at 22 weeks and 1 day.
Izzy
26 Weeks
Sept 29,2021 , at 25 weeks pregnant I went in for a routine ultrasound to check on our little gem to see how she was doing as I was switching my care team. Nothing could prepare me for what would happen next.
Miles
32 Weeks
After having our daughter at 26 weeks in 2014, we waited two years before trying to get pregnant again. We knew the chance of having another preemie was relatively high, but we wanted to give our daughter a sibling. We hoped that Makena injections and frequent monitoring would help us to carry our next baby to term.
Patrick
39 Weeks
Patrick was born full term at 39 weeks after a healthy pregnancy. During his birth, the cord wrapped around his head and neck, and sent him into distress due to lack of oxygen. He inhaled meconium and was delivered unresponsive.
NICU Miracles
Impact a NICU Family Today!
Curll Family
Brookie was 31w5d when she made her grand arrival! Our 2lb 15oz CHAOS QUEEN is now 2 & a half years old going on 13. The NICU taught us how to fight, persevere, and find the joy in every day. The NICU taught Brookie how to overcome every challenge with her sass & strength. She is small but strong!
The Colletta Family
Congratulations! This moment may not be what you envisioned it, but the better days will come. August and Avery went from weighing less than 4 pounds together and struggling for months in the NICU to becoming our now silly, healthy 4-year-olds. The NICU is scary; what comes after is beautiful!
Fridirici Family
One day you will look back and realize how strong your children (and you!) were from day 1 of this journey. You’ve got this! Sending hope and love from our 26 and 33 weekers.
The Roach Family
There’s a saying that life won’t give you more than you can handle and right now it may seem like more than you can bear, but you will get through it! You’ll discover a strength you didn’t know existed! One day you’ll look back and be amazed at what you went through and overcame!
Wall of Hope
Our Wall of Hope is a growing collection of heartfelt messages and photos from those who’ve experienced the NICU, created to bring comfort, courage, and hope to families currently on the journey.
A Look Back at 2025, and a Chance to Help NICU Families Ahead
Thank you for being part of our community this year. As you click through this End of Year Report, you'll see the impact your support made for NICU families. We hope you'll take a moment to read it and consider a year-end gift to help us continue this work in the year ahead.
Dozens of Hospital and Community Partners Nationwide
Hospital Partnerships are key to advancing the mission of Today is a Good Day. Our goal is to partner with a hospital from the moment a family is admitted to the NICU. We aim to create a positive patient experience for families navigating the NICU journey. Each partnership is unique based upon the hospital’s needs and priorities.
