This is NICU awareness month and I have decided to post all month long about various facets of our NICU experience. I hope it will be inspiring and educational.
So why do I feel compelled to share this all month long? Because this experience of having a preemie changed me forever. Nothing in life could have prepared me for what we went through, and our experience was much milder than some of the sweet families we walked this road with. Because I am in awe these babies who just come too soon or have illnesses and literally fight every day to live. Because there are amazing, miracles that happen in the NICU every day, and wonderful people who help make them happen. Because so many of you loved and prayed us through this time and I want to share now what I wasn't able to share then. And selfishly, because I hope this will help bring healing to some of the areas of my heart that still feel fragmented from this rocky road.
Keep an eye out for my upcoming posts and feel free to ask questions or give me ideas about the NICU that you'd like to know about.
