These men and women need so much appreciation!!
One..Two..Three babies that we spent time in NICU with from a couple weeks to a few months. Our NICU nurses were always amazing. They helped us to understand what was going on with our babies and dumbed it down in terms we could understand. They worked with us on how to care for each one when we returned home as well as all the "tricks of the trade" to help soothe a NAS/FAS/Special Needs baby. We worked through many different concoctions of drugs and alcohol, failure to thrive and feeding issues. Our nurses taught us how to make rice bags for warmth and compression, tricks to holding a bottle when a baby had poor oral motor function, and help us over the fear of a G-tube and so very much more.
