I take World Prematurity Day personally. I have two preemies. My daughter was born at 26 weeks and almost died again 26 years ago today from sepsis. There were many surgeries, terrible fears, PTSD, and many, many sleepless night. Finally, unbelievably, my preemie came home to be our baby after 100 days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
