Do you ever stop panicking

Erika

I am so grateful for my Nicu team but they really beat worry into me when it came to my preemie daughter.

I am scared of everything.

She’s 6 months old now, 3 months adjusted.

And she has her first rash.

I’m literally scared for her life.

It’s not even bothering her, she doesn’t have a fever, she’s acting normal.

I know I’m being irrational it’s a rash not a fever.

But I’m afraid. And I feel like I’ve failed!

I’ve done everything the Nicu asked of me.

I haven’t even let people meet her and here she is with a rash that I’m hoping and praying is just a simple thing that’s going to disappear without complications.

Do you ever stop panicking as a preemie parent? Or will I be like this forever?

Any advice on her rash would be appreciated as well
