Super Bowl Sunday and Super Hero NICU Parents
Posted by realityrounds on February 7, 2010
A very super thank you to one of my favorite blogs, The Preemie Experiment. Blog owner Stacey is hosting a book give away based on the work of the above animator and author. As written by Stacey:
Micro-Preemie Power, by Scott Wright, is a comic book journaling the NICU experience of Scott and Jodi Wright as they find themselves unexpectedly giving birth to a micro preemie. Their son, Morgan, was born 3 1/2 months premature weighing in at 1 pound 8 ounces.
This comic book is a very compelling and brutally honest look at life in the NICU. I can speak of the realities of the NICU as a nurse, but not as a parent, which is the REAL reality. The Wright family has given many NICU families a gift with the publication of this book. It is a gift of the unabashed truth of what parents go through while trying to survive the NICU.
I would also like to thank the authors for not portraying the NICU nurses as dead-behind-the-eyes, silicone enhanced, over-sexed, doctor- stalking sluts, that the majority of the media portrays as the reality of us nurses. Just sayin’.

Great comic. Touching but with humor. Glad to hear we aren’t being portrayed in such a manner! I cannot stand that one
