My son was born at Mt. Sinai and went straight into the NICU.
I've only been back there once because around seven or eight years ago someone at work was doing a workshop there and needed an extra set of hands.
I told myself that I could go back, and that it would be no big deal-sure-I can help you set up.
I went inside and felt a little woozy. We went up to the room and I apologized to my colleague and told her that I had to leave. I could barely breathe, I was having a panic attack.
I ran all the way from the hospital back to my office and tried to calm down.
Even today, when I close my eyes, I can still smell the NICU, hear the beeping, and I have flashbacks to the near death experiences-both me and my son.
It's very hard having a sick baby-it's a whole other world. Even thought it was 13 years ago, I haven't "gotten over it".
There are some things in life that you never "get over", you just go through.
As I watched this, I also couldn't help thinking how at 31 weeks, these babies are only a few weeks older than those butchered by Kermit Gossnell in Philadelphia.
How anyone can look at this and be pro-abortion is beyond my comprehension.
I hope these little guys get home, happy and healthy really soon.
