Coping with a Pandemic as a NICU Parent

By Nick Hall on April 9, 2020

By Ali Dunn I “attended” a virtual happy hour the other day. It was nice to see people’s faces and have conversations with friends even if they were mostly about isolation and COVID-19.

Part 2 in a 3 part series Written by Calista Wilson Our NICU Days After delivering Corbin 10 weeks early I was sent up to my room with no baby.  It wasn’t the delivery I always imagined. There was no magical bond holding my baby in my arms, instead I bonded right away with my […]

NICU nurses who make a difference

By Laura Martin on January 21, 2017

I gave birth to our twin boys unexpectedly at 24 weeks gestation. From the time I had my first sign of labor until they were born was a mere seven hours. I remember the moments right after they were born – I was laying on the operating table trying to wrap my brain around what […]

A new year

A new year

By Laura Martin on December 31, 2016

I remember New Year’s Eve the year my son was in the NICU. He was about nine weeks old. He had just come off the ventilator six days prior to New Year’s Eve. My husband and I wanted to ring in the new year with Joseph. We made our way to the NICU a little […]

There is a […]

Celebrating NICU nurses

By Laura Martin on September 15, 2016

Today is National Neonatal Nurses Day – a day we celebrate NICU nurses and all they do. NICU nurses are heroes. They are more than a nurse. They are a confidant, friend, mentor, extended family member, advisor. They laugh with us and they cry with us. They celebrate victories – no matter how large or […]

For National Nurses Week, I Say Thank You, NICU Nurses!

By Amber Shipman on May 8, 2014

I never really realized how important nurses really are. My mom is a nurse, so I grew up with one. Then when my son was born I realized that these people were keeping my son alive. They tended to him no matter what. They were there for him when we couldn’t be. They made sure […]
