We’ve been through a roller coaster of emotions, there are no words to describe what we’ve experienced. Every day in the NICU there’s more and more information thrown at us and being overwhelmed is an understatement. You try to process the information you’ve been given and before you can finish, more information is crammed down your throat. We’re working with a team that consists of a neonatologist, a neurologist, a developmental pediatrician, our regular pediatrician, G-tube surgeon, speech therapy, physical therapy and occupational therapy. We’ve also had to face conversations with hospice – conversations and thoughts that no parent should have to face. We’re fortunate to have a great support system through our journey. I told Dax that he’s making us pretty damn strong parents the first time around – but we’re not nearly as strong as him.
