What is it like to resuscitate a baby on the cusp of viability, to purposely induce hypothermia, to remove and replace twice a baby's blood volume within a few hours? How do you confront the turmoil of emotions when everything goes wrong? Every year half a million babies are admitted to neonatal intensive care units across the country, their stories and experiences largely hidden from view. With compassion and powerfully moving insight, neonatologist Benjamin Rattray takes readers behind closed doors to reveal heartbreaking realities, joyful and unexpected recoveries, and the often long, uncertain road of recovery encountered in newborn critical care. Captivating, beautifully written, and deeply personal, When All Becomes New shares a doctor's intimate reflections on life and medicine, the tension between faith and suffering, and how faith and hope can change the way we see the world.
