From the Publisher:
Parents and NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) clinical staff become a single entity to provide very small and/or very sick infants with the emotional and technological resources to survive. The stories they share with all of us are poignant. It is their wish to share the uncommon strength they and their babies found as they survived this never-to-be-forgotten experience with parents and extended families who find themselves thrust into the same situation with little or no preparation.
From the Back Cover:
Parents are often confronted with devastating circumstances beyond their control when infants are born prematurely or with other serious medical problems. You Are Not Alone is a collection of stories written for parents by parents. Their stories are full of understanding, support and hope for those with infants who are admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. They share their experiences of coping with guilt, loneliness and despair, while struggling with complex medical issues and long term problems. Their experiences, both joyful and sad, have changed their lives.
If you are a parent of a preterm or sick baby, or a loving friend or family member, you will find this book a welcome source of support as you share the love and strength of parents who have been in similar situations. The stories include pictures, past and present, and other special items parents wanted to share about their children. The book also offers a list of parent resources as well as a glossary of medical terms.
We hope these stories will help you realize your feelings and concerns are shared by others. We hope this book will offer you support and comfort because...you are not alone.
