Just be with her. She just needs comfort and support. Her dreams of the perfect baby are gone, and it is hard to think about her baby not being perfect. I hope the baby will be OK, I'm not sure about the prognosis, but hopefully this surgery will fix the problem. It is very common for parents to not be able to look at their baby with all the tubes and equipment. It hurts too much. She will probably come around, the nursery nurses should know how to help her be more comfortable around the baby. It is so hard!
