It’s every parent’s worst nightmare: bringing a small, helpless and perfect baby into the world, only to have them swept away for emergency care just minutes after they’ve taken their last breath.
But for too many couples, that’s the devastating reality.
It’s an experience that hits close to home for Chris and Michelle Korres. But thanks to the love and intentional care of some amazing nurses in the NICU, the stressful time that followed welcoming their unhealthy baby into the world was filled with comfort and joy.

The Korres’ son Benjamin was born two months early—which resulted in close monitoring and lots of tubes and needles in his first few weeks on earth.
After spending a long week in the hospital where Benjamin was being cared for, Michelle and Chris got to go home—but not with their baby boy.
Instead, Benjamin stayed in the NICU. But when the couple returned the next day, they couldn’t believe what they saw.
