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’.
