I completely understand. My son was wisked away to another hospital on the other side of town. The care for premies has improved significantly and she has a good chance of making it. The next 3 months will be long and tiring but well worth it in the end. If you want to do something to help them out. Start a restaurant gift certificate and meal drive for them. They will be going to the hospital every single day and won't have much time for cooking. Most premies come home around their due date, so you can expect her to be home around the time she would have been born.

The NICU is a roller coaster and is so scary but keep in mind that premature baby girls tend to do better than boys. The fact that she is breathing some on her own is a really good sign.

Another suggestion for them is if they have to pay for parking at the hospital, it can get very expensive. Our hospital gave us a long term pass so that we wouldn't have that burden on top of spending 18 hours a day with our babies. If they don't do that, maybe everyone could chip in and buy them parking passes.

I will pray for their little one and strength for both of them.
