Book Description
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.

“In books, what looks like death is actually progress.”
Today’s Washington Post featured a column by Steven Pearlstein, with his take on the new technologies that are transforming publishing and bookselling. He must be a brave man, if he’s willing to make predictions on where all this change will lead.
