For Nicole and Edward, a seemingly healthy pregnancy took an unexpected turn and resulted in the birth of two profoundly, premature babies. Like so many parents of preemies, they were suddenly thrust into the unfamiliar, terrifying world of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. This couple quickly learned the meaning of the “NICU rollercoaster.” The 160 days between July 7 and December 14, 2006 were the most emotionally trying times of their lives. This is the only book of its kind with advice on how NICU parents can best use a Web-based journal to keep their loved ones updated, and to receive critical love and support. The authors will explain common problems preemies face, offer suggestions for coping, and share their experiences. The innovative format combines helpful “how to survive” advice with blog entries and blog reader comments. Readers will get advice on how to start their own blog to help cope with their own situations.
