My Nonprofit Reviews

We love Children's Hospital of WI. Our experience was with their NICU staff. My first child, Zachary, was born at 29 weeks. He weighed 2lbs 2oz and was 14 inches long at birth. He was hospitalized for 66 days and during the course of that stay he not only battled all of the prematurity issues, but also had a battle with Staph and Rotovirus. I cannot begin to explain the stress level when your first child is born prematurely. It is a constant struggle everyday dealing with all of the ups and downs of a preemie. The staff at Children's Hospital of WI Fox Valley was phenomal! Not only did they care for Zachary, but they cared for our entire family. The day of his discharge was so exciting and terrifying, but also a day of sadness, since it felt like we were leaving family behind, because each and every person that is involved with the NICU feels like family. Little did we know that we would experience the NICU twice. Our second child, Madelyn, was born at 32 weeks gestation and weighed 3lbs 4oz and was 15 inches long. She was hospitalized for 32 days. The second visit to the NICU seemed a lot less traumatic. It is still stressful leaving your baby behind, but this time I was very knowledgeable about the staff and all of the procedures so I think that helped us a lot. I cannot say enough good things about the NICU team from Children's. They are all wonderful people and have enriched our lives so much by taking such good care of our children when they were at their most fragile states.
