My son in the NICU

It’s been a little over 50 days since my newborn son has been in the NICU.  And yes it has been stressful, but a different kind of stress that I’m used to.  As a professional in the healing arts it has been really humbling to see my son in the care of the NICU staff.  I’ve learned to be patient and more caring & loving with my family.  These kinds of situations can tear a family apart, but it has only brought my family closer together.

My wife is the strength of our family.  She faithfully goes to see our son at least twice a day, even after taking care of Kahiau the entire day.  Truthfully, I don’t know how she does it.

The good news is that Liloa is in a crib, breathing great and today he’s breastfeeding for the firs time.

Can’t wait to bring him home to be with his family.
