Inside our NICU, there were tiers like 'special' and 'critical' care, humming with CPAP machines and warmers. Kangaroo care is when they place your tiny baby on your chest, skin-to-skin—it felt like the first time I could truly hold my dear one. The cost? For us, it was thousands each day, a weight that turned my pension to dust.
The obvious worry is the machines, but what stays with me is the silence—no temple bell, only the steady beep counting the seconds I could not afford.
