Since the last post was all about us, this one is all about someone else.
I enjoy spending time reading several preemie blogs around the net. Most of them are encouraging, some are tragic, others are fun. I just now came across a blog written by a Neonatologist, called Neonatal Doc.
His topics are poignant and personal, and I find them to be extremely heartfelt and sincere, although sometimes controversial and painful to read. His most recent post, entitled “Loss”, moved me in a way I haven’t felt since my daughter’s stay in the NICU. I find it somehow refreshing to hear perspective from the “other side”; the comments in particular on this post actually choked me up.
For whatever reason, it appears that, last July, Neonatal Doc mysteriously stopped blogging with no explanation as to the reason why. From what I can tell, many readers are very disappointed and worried. Because of the content and tone of his last post, one does worry about his well being. We all know that these issues and events are devastating for Mothers and Fathers, but do we ever really take the time to consider what affect they may have on those who cared, or are caring, for our children?
To Neonatal Doc and others like you who dedicate so much of yourselves to our precious sons and daughters, we are forever in your service.
