Description

"Tells the story of wonder and hope that lies at medicine's cutting edge, where extraordinary healers and extraordinary patients come together to make miracles in an place where lives are held, literally, in the palms of doctors' hands. For the parents of sick and premature babies, some weighing less than a pound and no bigger than a can of cola, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, the "Baby ER", is their one bastion of hope during the most terrifying moments of their lives, when their children's very survival hangs in the balance."--Jacket.

First Sentence

ROBERT ALLMAN RACES DOWN THE HOSPITAL HALLWAY, FOLLOWING the plastic embossed signs leading him toward his son, a baby born far too soon, a frighteningly motionless child who had been swept from the delivery room inside the heated acrylic case of a premature-infant transporter, bound for something called the "Nick-you."
