Review "Lasby and Sherrow have produced an incredible resource--a go-to reference for families experiencing the birth of a preemie. The intimate vignettes from those who have walked this path will be of great comfort to preemie parents. I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs clarity on their journey through the NICU and support in the transition home." --Dr. Michael Narvey, neonatologist and creator of All Things Neonatal "This book is a must-have for every preemie parent preparing for discharge from the NICU. Too many of us have walked the halls in those final days and hours prior to discharge, wishing we could bring home one of our nurses. This is a great way to do exactly that. Well done!" --Deb Discenza, coauthor of The Preemie Parent's Survival Guide to the NICU and CEO/publisher of www.preemieworld.com "Having a premature baby is a life-changing experience full of fear, stress and uncertainty. Written by two highly experienced NICU nurses, Preemie Care provides a lifeline to guide parents through this challenging journey." --Deb Fraser, neonatal nurse practitioner and editor of Neonatal Network: Journal of Neonatal Nursing "In the NICU nurse's toolbox, this book will be an excellent resource to offer parents, providing them the opportunity to explore what they'll encounter during and after their NICU stay; describing the NICU environment and a typical preemie's medical journey; and giving practical tips for healthy coping. Fellow NICU colleagues will applaud them both for meeting this need and supporting our families." --Amy Wright, president, Canadian Association of Neonatal Nurses; assistant professor, Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, University of Toronto "This is a very comprehensive, practical book filled with advice for all who care for NICU babies. With their wealth of training and unique experiences, Lasby and Sherrow have provided the most important information around the NICU stay and the time beyond the NICU doors. They present complex information in a straightforward and personable way. As an NICU physician for more than 40 years, I have heard many families and colleagues ask questions that are clearly answered and explained in this book." --Dr. Reg Sauve, physician, professor emeritus, University of Calgary "This book is just what parents have been waiting for to support their transition home from the NICU. It provides answers to questions that many parents may not think to ask themselves. I highly recommend Preemie Care to all NICU
