I was put into NICU (pronounced “Nickyoo”) 5 minutes after the uncle doctor pulled me out of mommy’s womb. They (the paediatrician & nurses) told my daddy that I was too small. NICU is a unit of a hospital specializing in the care of premature newborn infants. There are lots of tube and cables attached to my hands, my leg and even into my stomach. All these things didn’t really cause me a lot of discomfort. The worst incident that hurts me is when I knew that mommy didn’t sleep the whole night worrying about me.
Look at me. It was not that bad after all. I didn’t cry. Daddy told me that I am a strong boy. But mommy really makes me worry.

Mommy, I want you to stop worrying about me in NICU. I am fine here. You should
- listen to daddy, the experienced nurse and doctors. Be happy because you had successfully given birth to me
- stop your sense of guilt. I am doing fine. It’s not your fault that I ended up in NICU. I just can’t wait to see you and daddy.
- stop paying attention to the incredible amount of detailed information that the various machines are giving. Interpreting numbers is not as simple as it may seem. Indicators can fluctuate naturally from day to day or even minute to minute. Most of these fluctuations are not an indication that something has suddenly and dramatically improved or become worse. Listen to the doctor. He said I am doing great right?
I love you mommy. Please stop the worry. You make me feel bad
