I have twins, so when one gets sick, often the other gets sick....

I still remember the first time I walked into the NICU. It was hours after the birth of my twin girls – 15 weeks too soon. The NICU was loud and unfamiliar. Everywhere I looked there were monitors, wires and tubes – beeping, circulating air, dripping IV fluids – all of this to keep my girls alive. My first true glimpse off their tiny one-pound bodies was a stark contrast to the chubby pink cheeks that most parents see upon the arrival of their children....
