NNU Patient Stories – Oliver
“Oliver was born at 29+1 weeks, weighing 3lb 2oz. We knew Oliver would be born slightly early but we never expected it to be that early and it never occurred to me that we might need a stay on NNU!
We spent a total of 56 days on the unit and we felt like part of the NNU family by the time we left. The staff on the unit were amazing and made sure we were fully informed and involved in Oliver’s care and, by the time we were in special care nursery, we knew Oliver’s routine of feeding, cares, and medication. We could do it all ourselves and this helped us to feel like and be parents in the hospital environment.”
