My daugther was born 14 weeks premature, and weighed only 1 lb 4 oz.
She remained in the hospital for about 3 months, and I was by her side
each and everyday, sometimes for as much as 18 hours. I never wanted
her to be alone, plus I couldn't stand being away for any length of
time. The nurses would have to "kick me out" to get me to leave and
get some rest. Thank goodness for Ronald McDonald Houses.
