The World of the NICU by Amanda Dickinson

Welcome to the world of the neonatal intensive care unit, NICU for short. This is not a greeting that you ever anticipated or wanted to receive. NICU parents find their selves thrown into a brand new world filled with all sorts of new overwhelming terms, all new scary sounds, ominous looking machines, and emotional highs and lows that most have never before experienced. The World of the NICU is a two part book with Part I helping families transition and learn about the NICU. Our hope is that you can take comfort and learn from those that have been there before. Part II is designed to document baby’s progress for personal records and as a keepsake. Part II contains forms for the NICU and to help you stay organized for life after the NICU. These notes can forever serve as evidence of how strong your family and your mighty miracle were during this time. Congratulations on the birth of your own Mighty Miracle and welcome to the world of the NICU.
