That excerpt made my heart clench up because I've been there.<br />I often think we're pretty much done with the whole preemie thing, or the worst of it, and then a pneumonia so terrifying settles in Col's lungs, or I find myself opening public doors with the sleeve of my shirt as I was taught to do in the NICU days.<br />If you don't mind, here is what I wrote last year for Prematurity awareness:<br />http://6512andgrowing.wordpress.com/2009/11/17/youve-come-a-long-way-baby/6512 and growinghttp://6512andgrowing.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214489875213933536.post-8233137851424495022010-11-18T18:54:54.587-06:002010-11-18T18:54:54.587-06:00Beautiful, powerful post, Kate!

Thank you. Your words are so powerful....Dear Kate, <br />Thank you. Your words are so powerful. I listened this morning, on my way to work, the podcast of your reading at Mother Words, recorded earlier this year. It reminds me to remember what prematurity means to parents and families. This is very real for me for two reasons: my son was in the NICU for a few days after birth (he was 37 weeks gestation) and my participation in neonatology clinic, every Monday afternoon, and neonatology discharge planning, every Thursday morning. I feel your book and Vicki Forman's tell a story we, caregivers and mothers, should not forget. <br /><br />From the podcast I also enjoyed tremendously Nanci Olesen's performance and the reading by Hope Edelman (I have not finished listening to Bonnie's reading). Thank you, Kate for all you do.Ineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11413507353368456961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214489875213933536.post-50283710853321657502010-11-17T09:54:06.538-06:002010-11-17T09:54:06.538-06:00I wonder too if Edward has a NICU experience deep ...I wonder too if Edward has a NICU experience deep in the folds of his brain.
