As Motherâs Day approaches,
Diana Mendelsohn remembers that holiday 36 years ago. It was when her son came home after months in the neonatal intensive care unit at Memorial Hospital.
Glen Adam Swank was born in January and came home in early May 1985.
He was born weighing one pound.
She said she knows how lucky she is that he was able to be released. She, as well as other parents who went through that experience, all have high praise for the doctors and nursing staff. An annual reunion of NICU parents helped her to reconnect and express gratitude.
It wasnât easy when Glen was there. He had big challenges then with surgeries, a brain bleed and spinal taps.
