A resource website for parents of premature babies
The pitter patter of little feet is every
parent's dream. However, when a baby is born early and requires
medical intervention to survive, life becomes like a rollercoaster that not
only goes through hills and valleys but also takes unexpected twists and
turns.
While modern medicine is making progress
to save tiny lives, preventing premature birth should always be a top
priority.
The March of Dimes campaign for healthy
babies promotes pre-natal education and care. But, premature birth
cannot always be prevented.
If your baby is born early, you may find
the resources and links in this website helpful.
This website is dedicated to:
- parents of preemies
who face heavy financial burdens and who endure emotional extremes while
caring for a pre-term infant
- preemies who struggle daily to
survive the lifesaving/life- threatening medical interventions
- preemies with disabilities
- preemies who are medical miracles
- deceased preemies - who will never
be forgotten and whose lives are not measured by a breath or seconds,
minutes, hours, days, or years, but by the love of family, friends and
caregivers
- neonatal
caregivers with attentive hands who devote their hearts and souls to
giving tiny babies a fighting chance
- all who support the March of Dimes
campaign for healthy babies
- extended family and
family friends who give support throughout the rollercoaster ride
This site is a
celebration of their lives and determination.
"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune
Without the words
and never stops at all"
~Emily Dickinson
