My 26 weeker was amazing in the NICU: Minimal IVH, she dodged NEC, and she was never on a vent (CPAP only). Her 88 days were spent growing and maturing. While she was in the NICU, I was told stories of all the other micropreemies that are “fine” now. I was connected with the parents of a 26 weeker that “caught up” during her first year. At the conclusion of our baby’s NICU stay we were sent home prepared to carry on with the “regular” baby experience.

Imagine my confusion, saddness, and shock when my baby had problems with movement, senory issues, and feeding. No one prepared us for the possibility. I felt like I had to mourn all over again.
