Parents of very premature infants, often shocked and panicked by
the situation in which they find themselves, have until now had
surprisingly few resources to consult. Now, with Miracle Birth
Stories of Very Premature Babies, the information, support, and
hope they so desperately need have been made available. Written by
a prize-winning journalist and father of a now-thriving
micro-preemie, this uplifting testament to hope is filled with
parents' stories of their preemies and micro-preemies, complete
with details of their struggles in neonatal intensive care units
(NICUs), with harrowing series of life-threatening conditions, and
with accounts of extraordinarily delicate and risky surgical
procedures. This is the only book available in which parents,
through interviews, speak directly to other parents about their
common experiences with premature infants, and it is an invaluable
guide to navigating the NICU journey. While the book presents
sobering medical facts in a straightforward manner, author Timothy
Smith's intention is to show a different side of extreme
prematurity than the one most often presented by the media. Rather
than dwelling on the relatively infrequent cases that result in
severe handicaps and family hardship, the author introduces the
readers to many examples of the positive, more common outcomes of
prematurity: children who have struggled valiantly and
successfully, often against all odds, to join families that
continue to cherish them. Heartwarming yet realistic, these stories
inspire even as they portray the families' attempts to cope with
losing the typical birth experience, listening to insensitive
remarks, going home without their babies, and communicating with
medical professionals. This is a powerful, love-filled, personal
resource for parents of tiny infants.
