KATHY SPEAKS ABOUT HOW THE NICU CHANGED HER LIFE

"People just assume that it must have been the most horrible experience, but my reaction is to say to them, but it was wonderful. And it isn't wonderful that my child went through what he went through. But I don't think that I'll ever feel as good as I felt in the NICU. Or as bad as I felt in the NICU. I hope, because I hope I'm never in a situation again where life and death is that close and that in front of me, as it is every day in, in a place like that."

"From the moment he was born, I feel like I opened an invisible door, and I stepped across it. And on the side that's here was my life, and everything that I thought was so important before, and in one step was in another world, and stayed in that world. It's like the day I walked out the door to have the baby, and I said to my mother, 'Don't worry, I'll be back in twelve hours.' And I never came back."
