Sally2 - sorry to hear your bosses were so *#$& about it. I don't get that at all (but a friend is going through a similar thing atm with his own illness and lack of empathetic bosses grrr)
Dotty, hope your little one bounces back soon and is home with you for good!

: spelling - hey, it's past my bedtime!
So many people just don't understand what it is like unless they have been through it, and it is lovely to hear from someone who hasn't been through it, but has some understanding of what it is like.
Unfortunately for many it doesn't end when we come home from NICU/SCN, weight gain worries go one for months and years in some cases, we have had a shocker of a winter, we were very lucky last year, as DD was born in the middle of Winter, but we were very very careful - or probably seen by strangers as premmie paranoia!! But all for good reason, this Winter DD been cosntantly ill since 6 respiratory infections, three trips to hospital and a four day stay!
I wish more people understand that just because they get to a point where the may not need to stay in an issolette that they can be handed around like a piece of meat. A friend didn't let anyone else other than her and her DH hold her 26 weeker until she reached term, she said well she was supposed to be in my tummy and they wouldn't have been able to hold her then, so why whould they hold her now!
