NICU Stories

Laura’s Story

Both my sons were nicu babies. My youngest born 10 weeks early. Spent 80 days there. We were gifted some of your book donations. Definitely was a life saver when big brother came to visit

Zoey’s Story

Zoey was born on April 19, 2025, at 37 weeks, in Winchester Hospital. She was overall healthy, but they wanted to provide her additional support in the NICU because she had labored breathing.

Zoey spent the next 7 days in the NICU where her numbers and levels fluctuated, but improved. On day 8 we noticed something wasn’t right. A few tests confirmed that she was fighting something and she was immediately transferred by the Boston Children’s Hospital team to the Beth Israel NICU.

Zoey fought for the next 48 hours but ultimately she passed away on April 28th due to an infection that she wasn’t strong enough to overcome.

Although we lost Zoey after 9 days, and miss her everyday, we are also thankful for the kindness, care, and compassion of everyone working in the NICU throughout her life.

The NICU is a scary place for parents and we are so honored to have this book drop from NICU Warrior Family Books in honor of our sweet girl.

Kerrie’s Story

Our son spent 9 days in SCN at NWH during COVID. We loved to be able to read with him there, and we still read the book he was gifted with him often! Thank you for supporting this! From The Silvia Family
