Been there with you. So scary. Thanks for sharing your story.

My transitioned grandmother also had me when I was experiencing my own very traumatic first delivery and extended NICU placement. I spoke to her and begged her to spiritually intervene for a better outcome... I know exactly what you describe about the staff's carefully chosen words that they used in your case, and how it must have felt to notice this. And how intimate to share that your husband was so overcome by his emotions that they poured from his eyes in the shower. Thank you for reliving this time and sharing it here for mothers like me who endured much of the same.
