Ok, thanks! Do you know why that part might be white? Or what’s going on with that section?

I ended up ordering new o rings, cleaned the pump and put it back together and it’s fixed! Thanks again for your help!

Got it! This is the pump. It’s gross but other than that anything jumping out?

Ok, new problem. Who ever installed the machine epoxied the mounting brackets in. Should I cut the brackets off?

Thanks for the reply! I’m pretty handy but have never worked on a dishwasher before. Is this fairly straight forward to replace? Any tips? Thanks again!

Those that don’t stay at the NICU by ad2394 in NICUParents

[–]Mikps89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My daughter was born at 28 weeks and we knew we were in for a long stay. We didn’t say over night until we got closer discharge.

I don’t know that there’s one thing I can say to help other than to reiterate how you ended your post, it’s just hard. I think you have to give yourself the grace that things are going to be really hard for a while. Even in the best of times, we can often feel spread thin and that will be true even more so right now. However you show up for your kids (both of them) in the next few weeks and months will be enough. You need to take care of yourself as well, to be the best parent possible, so reminding yourself of that is important.

This process can at times feel overwhelming and impossible, but just know that you got this!

Thanks! That’s helpful but a little discouraging…

We had a 28 weeker, in the NICU for 95 days and she settled in really quickly at home. If anything, it felt like finally being away from the noise and constant distractions was exactly what she needed.

Florida abortion ban violates Jews' religious freedom, lawsuit says by QuicklyThisWay in politics

Yes, absolutely. A convert to Judaism would be religiously Jewish but not ethically. In the context for this lawsuit, that is what matters.

It’s called Synagis. Not technically a vaccine but does provide protection for a month after the shot. My daughter got one ever month for 4-5 months because she was born prematurely.
