So. . .if the nurses and the doctors and all the people who were trying to do their jobs bothered you so much, why didn't you just take him home? I am a nurse who works in intensive care and your article is unbelievably insulting. I love how you relieved your guilt for essentially ignoring your son for his first 11 weeks by bullying hospital staff who are only trying to make him better. If your son had needed to be intubated, you wouldn't have been able to get staff in there fast enough.
As a mother with a 7 year old that was a preemie, i understand this relationship. I couldn't see my child for 2 weeks after she was born and it drove me crazy! Then after she got out of the hospital we had her monthly RSV injections. Which of course our insurance didn't want to pay. These children are born so that we can love them and take care of them. Some days are easier than others but, each day is a gift. Even if they are having a meltdown at the grocery store over yougurt!
When his father got pinned under the family car, this pre-teen didn't think twice about jumping in a forklift and getting the car off his dad--saving his life.
