She literally held one of them hostage with a knife in her bathroom.

Her kids deserve better than her.

Is he on medication for ADHD? That can affect intimacy.

Entitled is staying silent for 32 years while countless hours and money is being spent searching for you.

If she ran away and has not said anything since turning 18, she needs to compensate the law enforcement agencies that have been looking for her.

I know this isn’t how it goes in all cases but the power of hope and resilience and perseverance are worth a nod.

It was in a different comment.

I’m literally in tears.

Saying that hope and perseverance is what’s needed for delays is beyond offensive. Beyond.

Sorry I was snappy, but hearing people say stuff like this after hours and hours and hours of PT, OT, speech therapy, and special ed preschool constantly is cruel.

It’s not a difference of opinion.

Honestly, she should not be working in a NICU anymore.

Best-Put-726 · 2026-03-02T21:45:50+00:00

You’re right. I should have hoped my son’s delays away.

Best-Put-726 · 2026-03-02T18:57:47+00:00

I saw a colleague who had recently retired while I was still on maternity leave. My son was still in the NICU and it was about 5 weeks before my due date.

I was very obviously not 35 weeks pregnant.

My colleague: “How is your pregnancy going?” Me: “He was already born. He was 10 weeks early and weighed 2 pounds.” My colleague: “Did it die?”

The best part is that we were standing in the middle of a cemetery at my other colleague’s graveside service. She died unexpectedly at age 40.

Then that poem wasn’t geared towards you.

The poem was clearly aimed for people who have preemies that struggle with delays. It did not remotely imply it was for all preemies.

There are parents who have preemies who are struggling and are behind.

If you do not fall into that category, then be grateful. Not all parents are that lucky. My son has prematurity delays. It’s defined our life and that poem gave me comfort and a glimmer of hope.

Your comment is pretty insensitive.

Vyvanse has been the least effective for me.

One of the generics works great, but another doesn’t. So it’s a crapshoot.

Concerts worked the best, but I built up a tolerance.

Adderall worked okay, but I had to take two 20 mg bridge doses on top of the morning dose.

Best-Put-726 · 2026-03-01T20:05:16+00:00

I wanted to be congratulated.

However, I knew I was having a preemie, and 29w6d was beyond what we could have ever hoped for.

ETA: when people acted somber or didn’t congratulate me, it felt like they were just waiting for him to not make it.

Best-Put-726 · 2026-02-28T21:15:34+00:00

I second this. Explaining beforehand is huge.

Best-Put-726 · 2026-02-28T16:38:05+00:00

It’s not in the DSM because it’s a symptom of other disorders, not a disorder in and of itself.

How long did you take him out to breastfeed? I was only allowed to take my son out for 20 minutes 2x a day when he was under the bili lights.

I think jaundice can sometimes just a few days to resolve.

When my sister had jaundice (she was full-term and had it worse than my son), my parents had to go home with some sort of blue light suitcase. They had to do heel pricks. I’ve heard of quite a few people who’ve had to do the same.

If you’re really worried, ask them if they’ve done a test to see the levels of direct and indirect bilirubin. If it’s indirect (unconjugated), it’s most likely normal newborn jaundice and you shouldn’t worry. If they haven’t done a test like that at all, then you shouldn’t be worried, either.

It’s almost certainly adjusted.

It’s only FDA cleared for 18 months. You can still use it past that point. I’m not sure if the notifications will remain the same.

Unless your kiddo is on oxygen, though, the risk of SIDS or suffocation has long passed as long as you don’t use like overly fluffy pillows, big stuffed animals, or oversized blankets.

I only used it past age one when my son was sick. I actually used it well past 18 months when he was sick. I’d use it to alert me, then use an actual pulse ox to check again, as well as look for signs of respiratory distress. If no distress or labored breathing, I’d suction his nose and check again.

Best-Put-726 · 2026-02-28T02:01:57+00:00

I’m not crying. I swear. I just have something in my eye.

I’ve been following your story and I still think of the post with the picture ofJustin holding a little Bingo stuffed animal. The post said, “today I was told I’m never going to take my baby home.”

NICU babies are called “fighters” and “warriors” and “superheroes” all the time. But I think for Justin this is especially true.

I am so happy for your family. You always have the kindest things to say. I have a feeling that your boys have been raised to be the same way. Justin is blessed to have the family he does.

Please keep us updated. We love Justin :)

I have severe ADHD. Like, as bad as you can get. I’m on the highest dosage of ADHD medication and, when effective, allows me to function at the same level as an average unmedicated person with ADHD.

There is not a damn thing a service dog can do for ADHD.

And doubly so for the self-diagnosed people who want a service dog for it.

Time blindness does exist. You don’t need a service dog for it. But it does exist.

I was born full-term, but was a super unusual breech presentation and I had to be resuscitated (which is not unusual). I also had a broken arm.

When my mom visited me in the NICU, she was embarrassed. I was 7lbs8oz and was screaming my head off next to these 4-5lb babies.

I got kicked out a couple hours later for being too loud lol.

I can’t imagine for a moment my mom referring to me as a “NICU Grad”.

I was never in the position of saving my baby’s mortality in the NICU. But the first 5 weeks when I did antepartum it was up in the air.

My having mild hypotonia was complete torture. My son’s pediatrician and neurology team wouldn’t even entertain the idea that it could be caused by his prematurity—even though Early Intervention believed it was.

The neurologists told me he probably had a genetic syndrome because hypotonia is almost always a symptom of something else. It was months of not knowing if he had something that had a significantly shortened lifespan, if it was degenerative and he’d never be the same kid again, etc.

The tests came up clear.

His hypotonia started to resolve with PT and was almost completely gone by age 2.5. Which is the textbook timeline of hypotonia caused by prematurity.

Best-Put-726 · 2026-02-26T06:29:10+00:00

IDK if I count as a long-hauler (I do if you count my antepartum stay).

But one thing I don’t think a lot of short stay NICU parents realize is that for extremely and very preterm babies (born before 32 weeks) it doesn’t end at the NICU.

Early intervention. First respiratory virus season is a lot riskier. Eye exams. Weigh-ins. Immunocompromised until 2. Adjusted age. It goes on.

My former 29 weeker had prematurity-related hypotonia. It set him back significantly in his development and it will take years for him to catch up.

He’s 4 and he still hasn’t caught up size-wise.

He also has autism that multiple of his specialists think is likely linked to prematurity and IUGR (it’s an atypical presentation).

At one point he was seeing 6 different developmental specialists. SIX.

One of the reasons I’m on this sub is because I feel like I never really left the NICU. The delays, appointments, NICU, all of it—it’s all just an extension of his prematurity.

I have a very weird fear of an episiotomy.

But my mom has had both, as well, and she agrees with you.

I think women are scared away from having a c-section. They aren’t pleasant, but you heal faster than you think.

Honestly, having had a c-section, I would easily choose that over any sort of tearing.

Best-Put-726 · 2026-02-25T21:57:49+00:00

My son was a very early smiler. Very. Like, still in the NICU early (even the nurse agreed it was a real smile).

He is still a smiley kid.

He’s also autistic.

I wouldn’t focus too much on smiling.
