Hello, I can also totally relate to everything you are feeling. My twins were born at 28 weeks gestation. They spent 70 ays int he hospital total (8 weeks in the NICU and 2 weeks in a special care nursery closer to home) I spent as much time as possible with the when they were in the NICU (and hour from home) and I was there all day and ito the night whenthey were moved closer to home. They came home 2 weeks before their due daye with oxygen or other monitors. They were 5lbs 1oz and 4lbs 13oz at discharge. They are now happy healthy almost 4 year olds....The trauma of these days will become less bothersome in the future.
I went on to have a full term baby boy 16 months ago and due to medical issues he ended up in the very same nursery and NICU...i thought my time with the girls was bad but i found his 4 days there even more traumatic.
