10/23/19 • 41 min

32 years ago, Debbie's daughter Noelle was born at 28 weeks and had a stay of exactly one month. Except this wasn't the type of NICU journey that many new NICU mothers experience today. Imagine a NICU journey where things like kangaroo care and online support groups didn't exist, and you have a small glimpse into Debbie's journey.We have the honor of not only hearing about Debbie and Noelle's journey in the NICU, but we also have the honor of hearing about the life of their son John who was born at 25 weeks and lived one day. Debbie's strength as a mother is truly remarkable, and we are so honored to share her story with you today!To get connected:Website: www.dearnicumama.comPrivate Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/286008085639339Instagram: www.instagram.com/dearnicumama/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/dearnicumama)

EP 08 | Dr. Stephanie Hanson

Let's talk about cold and flu season! On today's podcast episode, we have the opportunity to sit down with a very well-known and respected pediatrician in the Fargo-Moorhead area, Dr. Stephanie Hanson with Sanford Health. Dr. Hanson has 11 years of pediatric experience, and in her practice has seen many NICU grads come through her clinic. Cold and flu season is a scary topic for any new mother, but for many NICU mothers there is an added element of fear as their babies may have compromised immune systems. So today we wanted to take the opportunity to share some practical information regarding cold and flu season from a licensed and experienced medical professional! We talk about what the differences are between the flu and RSV, why the flu shot is important, practical ways you can protect your baby if you go out in public, and more.We hope that this episode eases some of your fears, gets you away from those midnight google searches, and reminds you that YOU ARE YOUR BABY'S BEST ADVOCATE. You got this mama!Sanford Health: www.sanfordhealth.orgTo get connected:Website: www.dearnicumama.comPrivate Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/286008085639339Instagram: www.instagram.com/dearnicumama/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/dearnicumama)
