Hi there;
I'm hoping to start a support group for parents who have endured the experience of having a child born prematurely and go through the NICU. I've found there seems to be little support after the baby comes home -- even though the trauma resonates for sometimes years.
My own child was born at 25 weeks and four days, and though is now perfectly healthy six months later, I am having a very difficult time coping. I found that while I was in the NICU, sharing others' stories (when we could find each other; damn new privacy legislation!) was the greatest source of comfort.
If you are interested, or if you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thank you and take care!
