LO was a preemie and spent 8 days in the NICU. Even though he's now thriving and meeting all his milestones, I still find myself back there sometimes, like it was just yesterday.

A fridnd's LO was admitted to the hospital and she was talking about the monitors in PICU and it just opened the floodgates of memories.

Our experience wasn't traumatic by any means, LO was a feeder-grower, but I still get tense and emotional thinking about it.

Are there any other NICU alums on the boards?
