		<description><![CDATA[There’s an old cliché that says, “Hindsight is 20/20.”  Never is that more true than a long NICU stay with a micropreemie!  Most of my regrets revolve around my memory-keeping techniques—and here’s the way I wish I had done things: I would have taken pictures of Adeline every day.  I would have put her next [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most parents have heard of jaundice &#8211; when bilirubin levels are high and it causes a yellowing of the skin.  Doctors will have parents put their babies in the sunlight, perhaps have them nap under a sunny window.  For most full term babies a little sunlight will fix the problem. Many preemie babies are at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This story was thoughtfully shared by one of our readers. &#8220;My beautiful daughter was born on 9/25/09 at 28 weeks.  Her delivery only lasted about 25 minutes, leaving both her father and I completely stunned.  Keagan did fabulously well in the beginning; she was on room air, gaining weight consistently, and responding to stimulus around [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I brought my preemie to visit the NICU and her primary nurse this week.  We got to see one of the OTs and another nurse I knew as well, and it was quite an experience for me. This is not the first time I&#8217;ve returned to visit the NICU.  I&#8217;ve been back twice before with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now, most sources I found did not describe a Level IV NICU, but I have heard a few people say their preemie was in a Level IV NICU, so I was curious.  I also read somewhere that a Level IV qualification was discontinued 15-20 years ago.  I guess it&#8217;s confusing to a lot of people.
