Got sent to the hospital after an ultrasound to deliver my baby via c section at 31 weeks 6 days, the NICU staff was incredible and so helpful. Being in the NICU for 6 weeks was hard but because of the amazing staff it made it a little easier. I hope no one ever has to experience it but if they do Mercyone was amazing to me and my family.
