Twins born 10 weeks early came back to thank Denver Health's NICU nurses

Tasneem Hamdan brought her nearly 4-year-old twins back to Denver Health for the hospital's annual NICU reunion. Denver7 reported that the twins were born 10 weeks early, and that one of them weighed 2 pounds, 2 ounces. Hamdan had arrived at the hospital alone, with family still overseas. One twin later spent four months in the neonatal intensive care unit.

The nurses who cared for the babies are the reason she is in nursing school now. She told the station the team changed her life, and that she came back so they could see the children thriving. The reunion is a yearly gathering for families who left the unit and for the staff who remember them as newborns.
