Now, almost a year after his discharge, Battle reunited with the team that provided him with life-saving care for almost five and a half months. "Thank you to Battle's NICU army for loving him so hard, for being there for him from day one, for fighting relentlessly for him and believing in him," said Jess Movold, Battle's mom."In a place that can seem so scary, we felt comforted and at peace. It's not because of the monitors, the medicines, the machines keeping little ones alive-- it's because of the people," said Movold.
