Update

Have you been home from the NICU for at least a few years? Have you told your Micro Preemie or NICU story on the blog before? Now is your chance to update my readers with your journey, or even share your journey for the first time.

Micro Preemie or NICU Experience

If you have had a micro preemie or a prolonged stay in the NICU, we would love to hear about your life now. What challenges have you overcome? What are some victories you’d like to share? What do you wish you would have known back then that you know now?

If You’ve Shared Before

If you’ve shared your story on Shann Eva’s Blog before, we’d love an update.

• Please give a brief synopsis of the beginning of your journey: Gestation born, weight, NICU stay length, any surgeries in NICU,
• Answer these new questions, and send 4 to 6 clear pictures. Include one from birth/NICU stay, and the rest since they’ve been home.

2. What has been your greatest challenge since being home?
3. What are you most proud of or what has your little one accomplished that you want to share?
