One of the biggest challenges we had to overcome when our first daughter had to have emergency surgery after birth and stay in the NICU for about two weeks was being open to accepting help. The nurses practically had to drag us to the Ronald McDonald House because we didn't think we should be allowed to stay there since we only lived about a half hour away. Of course, staying there turned out to be a blessing since we could walk to the hospital and be with her as much as possible. Six years later, she is a happy and healthy cancer survivor!

Asking questions of the nursing staff and being firm with wishes. If you want him to have breastmilk and you have it pumped or he can nurse, then tell him that he gets that first. The one thing I wished I would have gone was talk to the Chaplin. Even though we knew our guy was fine, the delivery didn't go as you wanted it to go so there is nothing wrong with grieving about the circumstances.Prof. Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15300702154669290410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-4040494677258762972013-04-10T23:25:06.460-05:002013-04-10T23:25:06.460-05:00Lord Have Mercy (3) Hospodi Pomiluij (3) Kyrie Eli...Lord Have Mercy (3) Hospodi Pomiluij (3) Kyrie Elieson (3).

It's a temptation to spend all of your time at the little one's crib side, but pay attention to the other kids....they're going through a rough time also. Make time for daily mass while you're at the hospital. Our Children's had one twice/week, but the adult hospital next door had one daily. Seriously, have the nurse watch the kiddo for the hour while you're going, and take some time with God.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16074739091726231927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-82079010565829689162013-04-10T17:03:47.072-05:002013-04-10T17:03:47.072-05:00...my littlest sister was here for a while- she su......my littlest sister was here for a while- she suggested Arrested Development while pumping....I'm still looking for that banana stand...there's always money in itpriest's wife - S.T./ Anne Boyd https://www.blogger.com/profile/03792937108732259684noreply@blogger.com
