But I Did Everything Right

This collection of personal essays reveals one mother's experience coping with the extremely premature birth of her first son, Mikan, who weighed a mere 1 lb. 12 oz.  Mikan struggles daily against death and disability under a "medically-fragile" label.  It covers three years of parenthood and tells the story of survival and parental advocacy in a less-than-perfect healthcare system.  These essays will comfort and inspire readers, allowing them to identify with universal human insights and develop an understanding of what it means to be human.
