September is #NICUAwareness Month ๐Ÿ’š

My daughter was born 6 weeks and 3 days early and had to spend 12 days in the NICU.

Humongous shout out to Flowers Hospital in Dothan for their amazing NICU staff and doctor!! ๐Ÿ’š

This is our NICU story ๐Ÿงต
My wife had Pre-Eclampsia and was hospitalized twice for it. The second time we spent 6 days in the hospital before they said she had to have the baby.

Pre-eclampsia is very dangerous for the mom. It's main symptoms are high blood pressure, high protein in urine, and swelling.
It can cause strokes, kidney failure, organ damage, just to name a few.

The doctors monitor BP and protein levels and when it becomes unsafe they will pull the baby to protect mommy and baby.

My wife just happened to to be 33 weeks 4 days when they decided to.
