Flashback to January 30, 2012 - Part II


These pictures are still difficult to look at, two years after they were taken. Pritam Rolande Marcotte Sarai and Darshan Ross Marcotte Sarai, arriving 10 weeks early, came into this world, each weighing in at a mere 2 lbs, 9 ounces.

Amanda had only briefly seen Pritam in the O.R., before going under general anaesthesia. While recovering in the Mother - Baby Unit, I went over to the N.I.C.U. to take these first pictures of the twins to bring back to show to their mother and both sets of grandparents. You can't really prepare yourself for times like this. You are forced to deal with events, knowing that outcomes remain outside of your control. Such is parenthood.
