Welcome.  Landing in the NICU is whirlwind.  You're already tired and are probably in shock.  None of us expects to find ourselves as the parents of a preemie; surrounded by medical teams and high technology.  On top of the shock, there's the anxiety of going through various medical tests, trying to understand the briefings and then communicating with all the friends and family that want the latest news.

The good news is that the medical teams are linked around the world.  The result is that your baby is receiving state of the art care based on the latest information.

The other good news is that there are emerging resources on the internet.  Here are some favorites.
