And God Remembered Noah Naomi D Williams

This book is an honest, genuine, and detailed weekly account of a mother's five-month NICU journey with a micro preemie. Noah had entered the world before anyone was ready-including himself. He met the world three and a half months before he was supposed to. At 26 weeks, Noah arrived without so much as a polite knock at the door. He arrived lifelessly. But there was a spark inside of him that was invisible to the naked eye. Through hospital rooms, tubes, tests, and too many distressing trials to count, Noah's mother coped with the rollercoaster ride of the NICU by journaling her experience online for the next five months. These online journal pages have been brought to life, and are presented here for you to read. This is an introduction to a vital world that many will never know exists. This is an unconventional story with some uncomfortable and messy moments. This book talks about the messy topics that are often ignored when it comes to the world of preemies. Life is messy, and this is a real-life book. This is a story of courage-the first of many steps into uncharted territory calling for deep trust and faith in God. This rollercoaster doesn't end with a full and complete stop with a slushie and popcorn in hand. When you get on the rollercoaster of life with a micro preemie, you sign up for life. Parents who find themselves in the NICU will find comfort in these pages. Medical professionals will see the NICU through a different lens and from a parent's perspective. People with loved ones buckling up for the NICU ride will discover the perfect ways to offer support where it's needed most. Filled with emotions ranging from joy to anger to hope and despair, this story is a powerful opportunity for people who have ever stepped a sanitized foot into the NICU to join Naomi's movement of advocacy, shed the stigmas around differently-abled life, and live a joyful comfortably uncomfortable life out loud.
