Remember all the shit MAGA gave Pete Buttigeg because he took parental leave when his twins were in the NICU?

From @blakewexler.bsky.social : “United Health Care wrote a letter TO OUR BABIES denying coverage for our twins stay in the NICU…” 🤔 😳

I had a NICU nurse tell me how, pre-ACA, some kids would hit their lifetime insurance caps before ever leaving the NICU, smelling fresh air.
Six mos old, pulling thru after some critical birth defect, and now uninsurable for life.
Bc they had cost too much.
(PSA: the ACA is on the ballot again.)

We were visiting England and had to take our young son to the ER for an ear infection. They gave us an antibiotic. As we were getting ready to leave we asked how we should pay. The nurse, horrified, said "Oh no, we would never charge for medicine for a child!"

I think NICU nurses are angels. It takes something special to be a NICU nurse.

Ten years ago today the NICU staff somehow trusted me to take home my 4 lb 2 oz baby after a few weeks stay.
And we both survived!
Hooray for NICU discharge day 🎉

Someone explain to me, very slowly, why respirator masks are not required IN THE NICU.
If we had clean air standards and mandatory respirators in healthcare, this wouldn’t happen.
Patients deserve protection.
They’re scared. They’re vulnerable. They’re often immune compromised.
Infecting a baby in the NICU is a massive infection control failure.

During his time in the NICU, a total of different 28 doctors and nurses were involved in his care. They saved his life. I will be forever indebted to them.
It was a veteran NICU nurse, Maureen, who managed to swaddle him up despite all of the wires and tubes so we could hold him for the first time.

even tho there’s a lot of bad in this world rn… here is a heart warming photo of my dad, a NICU nurse of 28 years, reading to a preemie baby. His hospital does a NICU read-a-thon where nurses read to the babies whose parents cannot always be with them. 💜

Nayra Guzmán was 15 days post C-section — going to see her baby in the NICU — when she was taken to Broadview and held in custody for about 34 hours.
She slept on a bench and barely got food. She couldn't pump.
Her story is a rare window into the growing detention of pregnant & postpartum people.

Her baby was in the NICU. She was in ICE detention.
Before Trump took office, postpartum immigrants were rarely detained by ICE. Nayra Guzmán was detained while her 15-day-old baby was in the NICU.
