Prematurity Awareness Month

Babies being evacuated from NYU Langone Medical Center to
New York Presbyterian Hospital during Hurricane Sandy.

In the middle of Hurricane Sandy, several NICUs were evacuated. Nurses carried their little patients to safety.

I cannot look at these photos without crying. Thank God for the loving, caring staff who took care of these babies. And many prayers for the parents, who had to be worried sick.

As we begin Prematurity Awareness Month, let's remember the true hero's of the NICU- the medical staff who work who tirelessly to take care of our wee ones.
