Kids Health Reports Intensive Care Unit  

Parents whose children enter the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit undergo many trials. AboutKidsHealth, leading online Canadian provider of children’s health information, looks into ways undertaken to make the experience easier.

When Shirley Koo’s fragile son, Alain, came into the world at the community hospital of Markham-Stouffville, their lives were immediately thrown upside down. Despite a healthy pregnancy and negative screening test results, Alain was born with Down syndrome complicated by a serious heart abnormality. Within 12 hours, he was transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto. Thus began a journey that would change their lives forever.

“We were in an intense state of shock and worry,” says Shirley. Upon arriving at the NICU, “We were not prepared for the sight of our newborn baby connected to tubes and equipment almost completely covering his face and body; equipment encircling his little incubator. He was mostly under sedation but when he was alert his eyes implored us, very frightened. That was the most heartbreaking.”
