This is the story of how I got through the challenging period of spending time in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) with my baby. Depending on the situation, time spent in this unit could be any-where from one day to a year or more.
Little Victories
A journey of milestones for Nicu parents
WELCOME TO YOUR NICU DIARY, A SPACE WHERE YOU CAN
CAPTURE YOUR EXPERIENCES IN THE NICU. AS A PARENT
WHO SPENT 102 DAYS IN THE NICU WITH MY CHILD | KNOW
FIRSTHAND THE MIX OF EMOTIONS, CHALLENGES AND
VICTORIES YOU MIGHT BE GOING THROUGH. IT'S ESSENTIAL
TO HAVE A PLACE TO LOOK BACK ON THESE MOMENTS NOT
FOR YOURSELF BUT, AS A TOOL TO STAND UP FOR YOUR
LITTLE ONE.
Fragile
Beginnings
As I reflect on my experiences, I am compelled to share this story, envisioning a resource/guide that would have been invaluable during my own time in the NICU. The accessibility of such guidance be-comes paramount when faced with a situation where no one truly understands what you are go-ing through.
In drafting this book,
I recognize the inadequacies in available support. Some hospitals lack equipped social workers, and even when present, their in -formation might be limited or basic. Nevertheless, I aim that this book will serve as a source of comfort and a practical guide for those navigating the chal-lenges of the NICU. Drawing from personal experi-ences, I will provide tips and resources that I be-lieve can be instrumental in not just surviving but thriving during this trying period.
