I ran into two people at the walk Saturday who follow my blog. It was a pleasant surprise. One was referred to it by one of BJ’s primary nurses, Kristina. Nurse Kristina crossed the line from nurse to friend while BJ was still in the NICU and told her new primary about my blog. SheContinueContinue reading “Chance Encounter…”

Most people, in fact, are just encouraged to “get over it”. It’s been almost exactly two years since the day BJContinueContinue reading “NICU Trauma”
