[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a preemie 18 years ago so no pandemic. When she was released from the NICU it was RSV season. We were advised to avoid exposure so no family visits or taking her places. Her pediatrician was great and the office scheduled well visits in the morning to limit exposure for newborns in general.

After seeing full term newborns admitted into the NICU for RSV we had no intention of disregarding protecting her. The howls from extended family still piss me off 18 years later. I clearly remember which family members were respectful of our situation and which ones were selfish, entitled jerks. The only thing that kept us from going ballistic on them was DH’s aunt who had had two small preemies 30 years earlier. She and the former preemie cousins ran interference with nasty SIL, other aunts and in laws who demanded visits.

I could have written this. I had preemies who came home with medical issues and MIL never got over the the fact she had to cancel a grandma shower she was throwing for herself. She wanted my just out of the nicu twins to attend without me or dad. They had reflux and monitors and medicines throughout the day. She lived over an hour away. She started drama the day I gave birth and was mad about not having access to the nicu when she wanted. She was never interested in our children as they grew older and never tried to spend any time with them. She was so horrible it was a relief when she died. [/quote]
