Mitchell's Gift walks you through the experience of having a premature baby in the neonatal intensive care unit. Written from a parent's point of view, the book familiarizes a person with the NICU and gives tips on how to balance life inside the hospital with life outside the hospital.

The account of our journey with Mitchell, woven throughout the book, offers insight into the experience of having a premature baby, reassurance that you will survive this experience, and the comfort of knowing that you are not alone.

Mitchell's Gift also has an extensive glossary to help communicate with the medical staff. If you have a baby in the NICU or are expecting an early delivery, Mitchell's Gift will be of help to you.

Reviews for Mitchell's Gift - A parent's perspective on surviving life... with a premature baby in the NICU.

If you've found this book, odds are you're going through one of the most difficult, heart-breaking, scary times of your life, or you know someone who is. This is exactly the kind of book that you won't need until you're in the middle of the storm. This book is a life saver for parents of preemies in the NICU--parents thrust into parenthood a little too early and forced to deal with an uncertain future and a whirlwind of surgeries and procedures to help their baby survive. Writing from her own experience, the author takes you by the hand and walks you step by step through her own experience. She defines those scary technical terms the doctors throw around and details her experiences dealing with the NICU, nurses, doctors and being as involved as possible in helping her child fight for his life. Through all the ups and downs of her baby's life in the NICU, the author bares her heart to the reader and suddenly you realize, you're not alone in this. She's used her experience to give you the valuable information you'll need to get through this. It's so comforting to read her story and know someone else understands--someone else has been through this before and can help you navigate this terrifying and beautiful journey. And that is her gift. Red Hot Reader - Amazon review
