99 Balloons - Warning. You'll probably cry your eyes out.

Published

Here's a link to a video made by a NICU family, about the 99 days spent with their Trisomy 18 baby, Eliot. It gave me new perspective, as I have had a tough time understanding a family in our unit right now who has been requesting all kinds of advanced treatment for their trisomy 18 baby.

Awww! That DID make me cry! I made it all the way to the end. *sigh* Beautiful family, beautiful baby, beautiful love, beautiful parents.

God bless them.

Dear Steve, Thank you for sharing this video web site. Many of us as NICU nurses rarely see how parents deal with situations like this. I thought the parents did a beautiful job of presenting a tragedy in a positive light. As a nursing instructor, :redbeathethis is a wonderful video to show student nurses and to NICU staff.
