Leaving a hospital with empty arms after anticipating a child is heartbreaking.

My second child was in the NICU for 28 days… I stayed there during the week and came home on weekends to be with my other child and that was terrible…. But I always knew eventually he would come home too…. I hate to see any family go thru this…. I can’t imagine….
