BUFFALO, NY - March 21, 2025 – A new #editorial was #published in Oncotarget, Volume 16, on March 13, 2025, titled “No disease left behind." In this editorial, Dr. Muzamil Arshad from the University of Chicago Medical Center and colleagues highlight a growing concern in cancer care: radiotherapy may leave behind microscopic cancer even when scan images suggest the tumor is gone. The authors argue that this “residual disease” is more common than expected and is linked to worse long-term outcomes. Their perspective calls for a rethinking of how treatment success is judged and how cancer is followed up after therapy. Radiotherapy, especially a form known as stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR), is widely used to treat cancers in the lung, liver, prostate, and other organs. SABR delivers high-dose radiation with outstanding precision and often shows excellent results on scans. However, the authors highlight that relying only on imaging may not provide a complete picture. Months or even years later, follow-up biopsies frequently reveal cancer cells that scan imaging tests were unable to identify. “Residual cancer is identified on histology in 40% of lung, 57–69% of renal cell, 7.7–47.6% of prostate and 0–86.7% of hepatocellular carcinoma.” This gap between what scans show and what tissue analysis finds can have serious consequences. Studies across several cancer types have shown that patients with residual disease—even if small—are more likely to experience cancer recurrence and shorter survival. This pattern holds true for rectal, cervical, prostate, and liver cancers, among others. In some cases, not destroying the tumor completely may allow it to spread to distant organs. The authors point out that a complete response on scan imaging does not necessarily indicate the complete disappearance of the tumor. This mismatch can mislead both clinicians and patients into thinking treatment was more successful than it truly was. The editorial encourages more regular use of biopsy-based tests and new strategies to increase the true effectiveness—or “ablative power”—of SABR. They also discuss promising approaches to improve outcomes, including increasing radiation doses and combining radiotherapy with other therapies, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors. While some trials have shown better tumor control with these combinations, results have not been consistent, and more research is needed to refine these strategies. In summary, this editorial encourages the cancer care community to look beyond the scan images. Residual cancer may remain even when imaging looks clear, and recognizing this hidden threat is key to improving long-term outcomes. The goal is not just to shrink tumors on screen but to fully eliminate the disease.

In this episode, Dr. Tipu Puri, Chief Medical Officer at University of Chicago Medical Center, discusses the evolving landscape of healthcare leadership, challenges in staffing, and the growing need for efficiency in patient care. He also shares insights on physician wellness, the future of healthcare delivery, and his approach to empowering teams for meaningful change.

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Tanya Zakrison, MD, PhD, Professor of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery and Director of Critical Trauma Research at the University of Chicago Medical Center. Her work focuses on the connection between interpersonal trauma, critical race theory and racial capitalism. In this podcast, Dr. Zakrison shares how her personal experiences in young adulthood helped her make connections between violence experienced in the United States and global patterns of violence resulting from capitalism and colonial histories. She describes how structural, cultural and social violence causes the trauma-based violence we experience locally, nationally and globally. She describes the incessant gun violence in the U.S., especially affecting schoolchildren, as a critical problem that requires attention beyond making arrests and treating the physical wounds of the victims. Dr. Zakrison points out how we have normalized abnormality in the U.S. through the culture of individualism and social violence. She introduces the concept of “hate” as a public health disease and discusses the importance of deep understanding of history as a means to disrupt cycles of hate. In this broad-ranging discussion, we also explore the importance of medical-legal partnerships and their role in supporting victims of violence, framing them as one methodology for violence prevention as well.In discussing her work on firearm violence, Dr. Zakrison shared a poignant experience of being told as a scientist in the United States that she was not allowed to ask a particular question, highlighting the contrast between legislation such as the Dickey Amendment and our national ideals of freedom. She recommended building bridges of solidarity, joy, love and communal support systems to counteract the effects of discrimination, exclusion, and hate. At personal level, she encouraged us to use our power to help people develop their human potential so that we can all benefit from the genius that everyone holds inside themselves.Some of Dr. Zakrison's work can be found here:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28922206https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30484899/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35300858/Link to Practical Radicals: https://thenewpress.com/books/practical-radicals

In this episode of Physician's Guide to Doctoring, Dr. Bradley Block speaks with returning guest Dr. Stephen Bradley who shares insights from his co-authored article addressing how medical institutions emphasize diversity but frequently neglect true inclusion. Drawing from personal experiences including decisions about personal grooming to conform to professional expectations and those of colleagues, Dr. Bradley explores the subtle and overt pressures underrepresented physicians face to fit in.The conversation covers actionable strategies to foster inclusive environments, the "minority tax" in medicine, and how healthcare organizations can support their diverse workforce beyond recruitment. Whether you're a medical student, physician, or healthcare leader, this episode offers thought-provoking perspectives on creating a more inclusive medical community.Three Actionable Takeaways:Move Beyond Metrics: Diversity in numbers isn't enough—institutions must foster environments where underrepresented groups feel valued and authentically included.Understand the "Minority Tax": Recognize and address the added burden placed on minority physicians to mentor, advocate, and represent, often without institutional support.Create Inclusive Policies: Small but meaningful changes, like flexible grooming and dress codes, recognizing diverse holidays, and improving communication, can significantly enhance workplace inclusivity.About Guest:Dr. Steven Bradley is a board-certified anesthesiologist and medical ethicist dedicated to mentorship and enhancing diversity in healthcare. He earned his medical degree from Howard University College of Medicine and completed his anesthesiology residency at the University of Chicago Medical Center.

In this conversation we will examine the latest in non-invasive ventilation via the helmet interface. Recent empirical research has shown that ventilation via helmet can mean faster recovery time, shortening an ICU stay, reduces the need to intubate, lowers ICU mortality, and can result in minimal or no sedation of the patient.  Aurika Savickaite is a registered based in Chicago and was involved in the successful testing of the helmet ventilator in the ICU at the University of Chicago during a three-year trial study. Aurika has worked as a registered nurse and patient care manager at the University of Chicago Medical Centre, Medical Intensive Care Unit, and as a staff nurse at Vilnius University Hospital, in the intensive care unit. She earned a Bachelor of Rehabilitation and Nursing at Vilnius University Faculty of Medicine in 2001. Aurika is a recognized expert in noninvasive ventilation via the helmet interface and has garnered widespread respect within the medical community for her passionate work in this area. She was involved in a successful three-year trial study at the University of Chicago Medical Center that tested the effectiveness of helmet-based ventilation in the ICU. Drawing on this experience, Aurika founded HelmetBasedVentilation.com, a website that has become a valuable resource for medical professionals seeking to learn more about the benefits of helmets and their use in treating patients with respiratory distress. In the episode we cover: The story of exploration into NIV for Aurika and what did the covid pandemic reinforce?  The benefits of NIV in general. What are the benefits of helmet ventilation over NIV mask ventilation (greater alveolar recruitment).  The study - Effect of Non-invasive Ventilation Delivered by Helmet vs Face Mask on the Rate of Endotracheal Intubation in Patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome - A Randomized Clinical Trial. Commonly seen pathologies that benefit from NIV and the onward benefit.   What are some of the pre-hospital benefits in transport and retrieval. The indications and contraindications of NIV.

Between 2020 and 2022, I spent a lot of time reading about ventilators. So did a lot of the country. News coverage of the pandemic talked about everything from the serious shortage in ventilators around the country to new technologies available that might help save lives by helping victims of the virus breathe. From the pandemic that started in March of 2020, to the wildfires in California in August of that same year that made it difficult to take the outside air, I have spent a lot of time over the last few years thinking about breathing, that simple and essential activity that we'll do, mostly unconsciously, throughout our lives. And how that activity of breathing is, at this moment in history, connected to technology. That's why I wanted to talk to Aurika Savickaite, an- Acute Care Nurse Practitioner and medical professional at the University of Chicago who has spent her entire career providing top-quality patient care and advocating for the use of helmet-based ventilation to improve healthcare outcomes. Aurika is a recognized expert in noninvasive ventilation via the helmet interface and has garnered widespread respect within the medical community for her passionate work in this area. In 2014, she was involved in a successful three-year trial study at the University of Chicago Medical Center that tested the effectiveness of helmet-based ventilation in the ICU. Drawing on this experience, she authored a capstone paper on Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation for the Treatment of Acute Respiratory Failure in Immunocompromised Patients, which has been instrumental in raising awareness about the benefits of this technology. In March 2020, Aurika founded HelmetBasedVentilation.com, a website that has become a valuable resource for medical professionals seeking to learn more about the benefits of helmets and their use in treating patients with respiratory distress. Aurika continues to actively manage the website and update it with the latest research and information about helmet-based ventilation. Today, Aurika is dedicated to educating clinicians about the use of helmet-based ventilation and she believes that the evidence-based information she provides can help save lives, shorten ICU stays, lower the workload for medical staff, and improve overall healthcare outcomes. Her goal is to promote the use of this technology in both ICU and non-ICU settings and help to make it more widely available to those who need it.

Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation or NIPPV is ventilatory assistance without an invasive artificial airway like an endotracheal tube. The oxygen is delivered to a spontaneously breathing patient through a tight-fitting mask or in this case a helmet. Helmet based ventilation is a modern solution to an outdated method. The most popular choice in providing NIPPV is the cpap, a tightly fitted mask over the nose and mouth. The biggest problem with cpap is comfort and inconsistency associated with interruption for patient care. The helmet based approach provides a more efficient and effective way to deliver pressure and oxygen. In this episode, we welcome our guest, Aurika Savickaite. She is a registered nurse and patient care manager at the University of Chicago Medical Center's Medical Intensive Care Unit and was part of the successful testing of the helmet ventilator in the ICU at the University of Chicago during a three-year trial study. Catch more of Aurika as we learn more about helmet ventilation and empowering nurses in this exciting episode of Cup of Nurses.

Videos: How Technology Is Negatively Affecting You (12:00) Stunning AI shows how it would kill 90%. w Elon Musk. (15:58) What's Coming Is WORSE Than A Recession” – Chamath Palihapitiya (15:03) Heather Mac Donald On How The Delusion of Diversity Destroys Our Common Humanity(11:02) Potatoes can be part of a healthy diet Louisiana State University, November 18, 2022 When we think of healthy vegetables, we don't think of potatoes, but we should. Potatoes have developed a reputation for causing weight gain and an increased risk for type 2 diabetes, and often find themselves on a list of foods to avoid, especially for individuals with insulin resistance. However, a new study from Pennington Biomedical Research Center at Louisiana State University, published in the Journal of Medicinal Food, says that potatoes actually did not increase that risk, are filled with key nutrients, and packed with health benefits. Candida Rebello, PhD, an assistant professor at Pennington Biomedical, said, “We demonstrated that contrary to common belief, potatoes do not negatively impact blood glucose levels. In fact, the individuals who participated in our study lost weight.” “People tend to eat the same weight of food regardless of calorie content in order to feel full,” Rebello explained. “By eating foods with a heavier weight that are low in calories, you can easily reduce the number of calories you consume. The key aspect of our study is that we did not reduce the portion size of meals but lowered their caloric content by including potatoes. Each participant's meal was tailored to their personalized caloric needs, yet by replacing some meat content with potato, participants found themselves fuller, quicker, and often did not even finish their meal. In effect, you can lose weight with little effort.” The study involved 36 participants between the ages of 18 and 60 who were overweight, had obesity, or insulin resistance. Insulin resistance refers to a health condition in which the body's cells do not respond well to insulin and glucose does not enter into the cells to make energy. Insulin resistance is linked to obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes Participants were fed precisely-controlled diets of widely available common foods including either beans, peas, and meat or fish, or white potatoes with meat or fish. Both diets were high in fruit and vegetable content and substituted an estimated 40% of typical meat consumption with either beans and peas or potatoes. Previous studies have shown that eating beans and peas improves blood glucose levels in individuals with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. To increase the dietary fiber component of the potatoes, they were boiled with the skin intact and then refrigerated between 12 and 24 hours. Potatoes were incorporated into the main lunch and dinner entrées, and served together with sides such as mashed potatoes, oven-roasted potato wedges, potato salad, and scalloped potatoes with lunch and dinner entrees. “We prepared the potatoes in a way that would maximize their fiber content. When we compared a diet with potatoes to a diet with beans and peas, we found them to be equal in terms of health benefits,” Rebello said. “People typically do not stick with a diet they don't like or isn't varied enough. The meal plans provided a variety of dishes, and we showed that a healthy eating plan can have varied options for individuals striving to eat healthy. In addition, potatoes are a fairly inexpensive vegetable to incorporate into a diet.” (NEXT) Celery Seed Extract Lowers High Blood Pressure in Human Study University of Chicago Medical Center, November 8, 2022 Drugs to lower blood pressure are among the most commonly prescribed medicines in the U.S. More than 678 million blood pressure prescriptions were filled in 2010. All of the current classes of blood pressure lowering drugs possess significant side effects.A recent study with a special extract of celery seed extract indicates that it may produce clinical results without producing the side effects that plague current drug treatment. Celery seed extract contains an important compound known as 3-n-butylphthalide, or 3nB for short, that is also responsible for the characteristic flavor and odor of celery. 3nB was discovered as the active component of celery in response to investigations by researchers seeking to explain some of the medicinal effects of celery, including the lowering of blood pressure and the relief of arthritis. 3nB first drew significant scientific attention when researchers identified it as the factor in celery responsible for the blood pressure lowering effect of celery. The research was prompted by one of the researcher's father, who after eating a quarter-pound of celery every day for one week observed his blood pressure dropped from 158 over 96 to a normal reading of 118 over 82. A recent human study evaluated the efficacy of a standardized extract of celery seed supplying 85 percent 3nB in 30 patients with mild to moderate hypertension. The dosage was 150 mg per day. The results showed a statistically significant decrease in both systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) compared to baseline measurements. The change at week six for the SBP was 8.2 mmHg and for the DBP was 8.5 mmHG. No side effects were reported. These results indicate that celery seed extract may produce the greatest blood pressure-lowering effects in natural products available on health food store shelves. A major advantage of celery extract over conventional drugs used in high blood pressure is that drugs like beta-blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, and calcium channel blockers tend to significantly lower the blood flow to the brain While this effect is helpful in reducing the likelihood of stroke, it often leaves patients taking these drugs feeling tired, depressed, dizzy, and forgetful. Celery extract on the other hand has actually been shown to not only help prevent stroke in animal studies, but also improve blood flow as well and act to protect the brain and enhance energy production with the brain. (NEXT) Exercise during pregnancy gives newborn brain development a head start University of Montreal, November 10, 2022 As little as 20 minutes of moderate exercise three times per week during pregnancy enhances the newborn child's brain development, according to researchers at the University of Montreal and its affiliated CHU Sainte-Justine children's hospital. This head-start could have an impact on the child's entire life. “Our research indicates that exercise during pregnancy enhances the newborn child's brain development,” explained Professor Dave Ellemberg, who led the study. “While animal studies have shown similar results, this is the first randomized controlled trial in humans to objectively measure the impact of exercise during pregnancy directly on the newborn's brain.We hope these results will guide public health interventions and research on brain plasticity. Most of all, we are optimistic that this will encourage women to change their health habits, given that the simple act of exercising during pregnancy could make a difference for their child's future.” Not so long ago, obstetricians would tell women to take it easy and rest during their pregnancy. Recently, the tides have turned and it is now commonly accepted that inactivity is actually a health concern. “While being sedentary increases the risks of suffering complications during pregnancy, being active can ease post-partum recovery, make pregnancy more comfortable and reduce the risk of obesity in the children,” Curier explained. “Given that exercise has been demonstrated to be beneficial for the adult's brain, we hypothesized that it could also be beneficial for the unborn child through the mother's actions.” To verify this, starting at the beginning of their second trimester, women were randomly assigned to an exercise group or a sedentary group. Women in the exercise group had to perform at least 20 minutes of cardiovascular exercise three times per week at a moderate intensity, which should lead to at least a slight shortness of breath. Women in the sedentary group did not exercise. The brain activity of the newborns was assessed between the ages of 8 to 12 days, by means of electroencephalography, which enables the recording of the electrical activity of the brain. “We used 124 soft electrodes placed on the infant's head and waited for the child to fall asleep on his or her mother's lap. We then measured auditory memory by means of the brain's unconscious response to repeated and novel sounds,” Labonté-LeMoyne said. “Our results show that the babies born from the mothers who were physically active have a more mature cerebral activation, suggesting that their brains developed more rapidly.” (NEXT) Keeping indoor humidity levels at a ‘sweet spot' may reduce the spread of COVID-19 Massachusetts Institute of Technology, November 14, 2022 We know proper indoor ventilation is key to reducing the spread of COVID-19. Now, a study by MIT researchers finds that indoor relative humidity may also influence transmission of the virus. Relative humidity is the amount of moisture in the air compared to the total moisture the air can hold at a given temperature before saturating and forming condensation. In a study appearing in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, the MIT team reports that maintaining an indoor relative humidity between 40 and 60% is associated with relatively lower rates of COVID-19 infections and deaths, while indoor conditions outside this range are associated with worse COVID-19 outcomes. To put this into perspective, most people are comfortable between 30 and 50% relative humidity, and an airplane cabin is at around 20% relative humidity. The findings are based on the team's analysis of COVID-19 data combined with meteorological measurements from 121 countries, from January 2020 through August 2020. Their study suggests a strong connection between regional outbreaks and indoor relative humidity. In general, the researchers found that whenever a region experienced a rise in COVID-19 cases and deaths prevaccination, the estimated indoor relative humidity in that region, on average, was either lower than 40% or higher than 60% regardless of season. Nearly all regions in the study experienced fewer COVID-19 cases and deaths during periods when estimated indoor relative humidity was within a “sweet spot” between 40 and 60%. “There's potentially a protective effect of this intermediate indoor relative humidity,” suggests lead author Connor Verheyen, a Ph.D. student in medical engineering and medical physics in the Harvard-MIT Program in Health Sciences and Technology. “However, we find that maintaining an indoor relative humidity in that sweet spot—of 40 to 60%—is associated with reduced COVID-19 cases and deaths.”In all, they focused on 121 countries where COVID-19 outbreaks occurred. For each country, they also tracked the local COVID-19 related policies, such as isolation, quarantine, and testing measures, and their statistical association with COVID-19 outcomes. In warmer times, both outdoor and indoor relative humidity for each country was about the same, but they quickly diverged in colder times. While outdoor humidity remained around 50% throughout the year, indoor relative humidity for countries in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres dropped below 40% in their respective colder periods, when COVID-19 cases and deaths also spiked in these regions. (NEXT) Why Are Kids So Great at Learning? GABA Brown University, November 16, 2022 GABA is the abbreviation for the neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid. In the study, published in the journal Current Biology, researchers explain GABA's crucial role in helping children process new information and prepare their brains to learn and store even more. “What we found is a rapid increase in GABA in children, associated with learning,” says lead study author Takeo Watanabe, a professor of cognitive and linguistic sciences at Brown University. The neurotransmitter GABA plays an important role in helping the brain consolidate new info, Watanabe says. It “stabilizes” the network so that subsequent learning doesn't override what was already there and defends knowledge against retrograde interference. Yet this kind of GABA inhibitory processing is not fully matured in children, he says. Kids have lower levels of GABA—it's why they have less inhibitory abilities and weaker impulse control than adults. So if GABA is necessary to set the brain up to learn consecutive items, and children have less GABA than adults, then how are children able to, as Watanabe puts it, “learn and learn and learn and learn?” Using an advanced imaging technique called functional MRS, they measured the concentration of GABA in early visual cortical areas before, during and after learning sessions. They then compared the concentrations between children (ages 8 to 11) and adults (ages 18 to 35). They found that before learning begins, the overall amount of GABA in children is indeed smaller than in adults, Watanabe says. However, the researchers found that children exhibited a rapid boost in GABA concentration in the second round of learning, while the concentration of GABA in adults did not change.The results of the experiments suggest that compared with adults, children exhibit more dynamic GABA-associated inhibitory processing, which more rapidly adapts to stabilize learning than in adults, the researchers conclude. (NEXT) Being comfortable with aging can benefit sex life University of Missouri, November 17, 2022 Researchers have long known that having a positive outlook can benefit a person's health.Now, a new study by the University of Missouri has found older adults who feel positively about aging have a healthier sex life—a finding that didn't surprise the researcher, who's been studying the benefits of the positive perceptions of aging.”We know positive perceptions of aging can be really beneficial, but when they are negative, they can be really detrimental. Negative perceptions of aging are linked to higher likelihood of cognitive decline, higher likelihood of cardiovascular disease and even shorter lifespans. We wanted to see how it would affect people's sexual relationships. As expected, thinking positively about the way you age can also lead to a healthy sex life.” “We found this relationship to be strong with both men and women,” Skoblow said. “With data from more than 1,100 couples, we were able to find that participants with a more positive perception of aging also had sex more frequently as well as increased satisfaction.” “It's possible that if people expect a steep physical decline as an inevitable part of aging, they could have anticipatory inhibitions. They stop enjoying themselves in the moment and could have less satisfying sexual encounters,” Skoblow said. “We also know that western cultures often have many youthful beauty ideals, so maybe people with more positive perceptions of aging don't buy into them as much, leading to a more satisfying sex life as their body begins to change.”

Weeks after a dust-up with his neighbor, a 45-year-old man allegedly opened fire on a woman near their Chatham apartment building — but he ended up killing her daughter instead, prosecutors say. Bail was denied Saturday for Eugene Arnold III, who is now charged with the murder of Rickisha King-Tiggs and the attempted murder of her mother, authorities said. Prosecutors said during a bail hearing that the feud between Arnold and King-Tiggs' mother started at least a few weeks before it ended in gunfire Wednesday evening. As she was on the phone with police giving a description of Arnold, she allegedly saw him fire a handgun from inside his van and through the passenger window. King-Tiggs, 25, was shot in the head and leg, police said. She later died at the University of Chicago Medical Center. Her mother was not struck, Mack said. After the shooting, a witness said they saw Arnold drive south against traffic on Maryland Avenue before turning right on 83rd Street, Mack said. Arnold was arrested hours later in River North, according to police. Source: chicago.suntimes --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/leah-gordone/support

For the past twenty years, Dr. Thomas Fisher has worked in the emergency department at the University of Chicago Medical Center, serving the same South Side community in which he was raised. During the past two years of COVID-19, he decided to write about his experience in a large urban hospital emergency room. He says that at the end of a shift he was haunted by the confusion in the eyes of his patients. He asks a couple of questions that they probably are thinking: Who is this man treating them from behind a mask? Why do they have to wait so many hours to be treated? Dr. Fisher attempts to answer these and many other questions in his book "The Emergency: A Year of Healing and Heartbreak in a Chicago ER."       Learn more about your ad choices.

Thomas Fisher's new book, “The Emergency,” details his life as an emergency physician at the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he's worked for 20 years. It provides an up-close look at a hospital during the pandemic, and also zooms out to address the systemic issues that afflict American health care.“This book was conceptualized prior to Covid,” Fisher says on this week's podcast. “But Covid laid bare so much of what I intended to discuss from the beginning. So in some ways it was weirdly fortuitous. It gave the opportunity to discuss many of the details in much more vivid relief because we had this pandemic laying out all the things that have been a problem for so long.”The critic and essayist Maud Newton's first book, “Ancestor Trouble,” details her investigations into her family's fascinating and sometimes discomfiting history, and reflects on our culture's increased obsession with genealogy.“Allowing ourselves to really imagine our ancestors, in all of their fullness — the difficult and bad things that they did, and of course the wonderful things that they did — can just be a really transformative experience,” Newton says. “I've come to find that the line between imagination and spirituality has become a lot more porous over the course of writing this book.”Also on this week's episode, Dwight Garner and Molly Young talk about books they've recently reviewed. John Williams is the host.We would love to hear your thoughts about this episode, and about the Book Review's podcast in general. You can send them to books@nytimes.com.

What do you do when everything you thought being a parent meant gets turned upside down with one diagnosis? How do you deal with the isolation of being a NICU parent? In today's episode, I'm speaking with Tyler Simon who works at the University of Chicago Medical Center - which was also where her oldest son Bennett, now five years old, spent the first 4 months of his life. After a fetal MRI discovered abnormalities at just 19 weeks of pregnancy, Tyler and her husband were in complete disbelief when her water broke prematurely at 31 weeks. Faced with the decision of having to go back to work 10 days postpartum with Bennett still in the NICU - in order to save her maternity leave days for when Bennet was discharged - Tyler shares with us the highs and lows of their NICU experience. Tyler also teaches us how to find a community within primary care nurses and medical teams, how to navigate the solitude of NICU parenthood and major surgeries, and shares their post-NICU journey now that Bennet is in kindergarten. She inspires us to never lose hope and to really celebrate the wins no matter how small or how silly they may feel, “because you never know when the next one will come”. Key Takeaways with Tyler Simon How Tyler overcame the solitude of NICU parenthood. The importance of creating your own community with the staff at hospitals. How to let go of control and accept things as they come. The scary journey of bringing your baby home from the NICU Balancing work and parenting a child with disabilities Building trust with primary care nurses and medical teams is a win-win situation. Knowing when and how to ask for help and allowing others to help you when they offer. Never forget that you are the parent and you need to speak on behalf of your child. How to deal with the feelings of mom guilt. Celebrating the small wins because that is where you'll find the joy in your journey.
