I read your note and was shocked to hear of such an advertisement.  But then
I remembered an experience of our while are son was in NICU.  Friends of our
also had a child in NICU and I was shocked to hear they told the doctors they
were glad the child was in good hands as they had a vacation planned and
didn't want to cancel.  This is the same couple whose first child after just
being released from NICU accompanied a hockey team to the states as the
mother wanted to watch.

Maybe I am overprotective but I spent every waking hour at NICU with my two
sons and upon their release I stayed at home with them unless something
medical or extremely necessary made us leave.
