| jayjay06 I am sorry for your loss...... my premature grandson got his wings March 30th 2003 and all i have is some very poor shots as well. If I ever get good at PShop I will try and make them better as my son, Jay and his wife would love that.. here is another suggestion for people who can't see themselves photographing this heartbreaking time... these babies are so tiny and regular baby clothes don't fit them. My granson was dressed in a tiny blue sweater and hat that some kind soul knitted in just his size. The nurses allowed me to take home his tiny hat and it's one of my most precious possessions. They told me that they need people to knit or sew clothes for the babies - tiny christening gowns are really needed for babies who are are baptised in the NICU - at least in the one where my Jeremy was. So if you have a talent in that area, it would be a blessing to contribute handmade tiny clothes as well. |

Little bumpity bump for others who might be interested. Cindi mentioned it in another thread so I thought I might resurrect this one. It's such a wonderful cause.

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to thank you for your kind words and answer any questions you might have about NILMDTS. I know that this work seems like the most difficult thing you can imagine, and i can assure you it can be. however, every time I watch a parent say good-bye to their child I think that my heart will break, and then I have the privilege of delivering the images and I truly understand why this work is so important. The healing these images bring goes so far beyond the first few months. These imagesand the impact they will have, will last a lifetime. They will bring comfort and peace to broken hearts. I am so proud that we are able to use our talents to give back to our community. Many photographers want to join but they are afraid that they would be unable to handle the heart ache. Many of those photographers can't get NILMDTS out of their minds. Eventually, they join and the comment that I always here is..."I thought I couldn't do this work...But, now that I have had a session, how could I not do this work."
I promise you that this will be some of the most heart wrenching and rewarding work you will ever do.
if you have any questions-- I would be happy to respond..
Peace,
Sandy "Sam" Puc'

Sam, Thanks so much for popping in on our conversation. That was really good of you. Several photographers in my area (Jacksonville) speak very very highly about NILMDTS and I am considering joining them...I just wonder if my heart can take it. How do you not cry through the entire session? :(

The new born daughter of very close frieds of ours isn't born too early, but she stays on baby-IC for other reasons.
I asked them if I could take photos from her, for their memories and also my way to deal with the situation.
Tomorrow I'm going there, in the visiting hours. It's gonna be a hard shoot for me, but I am very thankful they're willing me to do it.

Wow that's heavy. I have 2 children (Sam almost 3, and Stephanie 1 1/2) and those photos choked me up big time. At first I was kinda creeped out but I think it would be a good idea. I think I'll go hug my kids now.

| Aren't there times when the babies indeed get better? Or is the service only for those babies who either pass on, or must be taken off of life support? |

The service is for babies with very little or no chance of surviving. It's also for babies who have already passed (ie stillborn). Certainly not an easy thing to do.

Man, there truly are angels among us.
Bless all of you who choose or even consider doing this work. It is truly a gift not only to the parents, but back to yourself. BRAVO |

Our oldest daughter was 7.5 weeks earlier do to preclamcia not sure of the proper spelling anyway she was in a ICU for 2 weeks. I spent countless hours in that room with her, While there I started to take notice of the other kids in the unit and realised really fast how lucky we were, There was a baby in there that couldnt have been much more than 8 - 9 inches long and less than a full pound. She was 14 weeks early and was expected to be a small baby to begin with. The Nurses in the unit said the little girl would grow up to have a healthy normal life. She just needed some extra special attention for the first year or two. I reckon she is doing well now. Our daughter is 6 years old right at the top % of the growth curve charts, Smart too.
I am just babbling here but what i know first hand about the technology and what it can do I am absolutely amazed.
