The NICU is an incredible place. I cant put my thoughts of the NICU in to words. Its like a whole nother world. Nowhere else on earth will you see things that are so astonishing. The tiniest infant in the world might have a drive to live thats unparalleld. The doctors and nurses are incredible too. Being able to operate and just administer care to an infant who isnt much bigger than your two hands put together, is just amazing. My time spent there has changed me forever.

Chris: Its official! You are hereby voted out of 'manland'...

Oh yeah, dont tell anyone, but I agree with you 100%.

Andy, you're right. The NICU is a completely different world. No parent leaves the NICU the same as when they entered. You see things there that will forever haunt your memories....things that you once thought only belonged in science fiction.

I am happy to hear your children left the NICU relatively unscarred. You are indeed blessed.
