Help...At Last

A friend of my husbands gave me this book a few weeks after my preemie was born. I wish this book had been given to me the minute I hit the NICU door. Extremely informative and comforting, especially for a new parent unexpectedly thrown into the NICU community. I found it very easy to ready. It helped to extinguish most of my feelings of inadequacy and made me realize that what my child and I were experiencing was VERY NORMAL for our situation. The Appendix of Medical Terms assisted me in becoming more actively involved in the care of my preemie. I wish an updated edition was available as some of the drugs being used and the medical treatments and terms are a little outdated.
