I know the care level is superb, but I've heard it's a bit less personal, in part because very few (if any) kids are actually born there and so they don't usually follow the kids and their families from the very early days and form the bonds we all did with the NICUs where our kids started out.abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03403145277760263562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085597284217459353.post-71321200998665359002010-07-28T23:10:36.277-04:002010-07-28T23:10:36.277-04:00I don't know that I can say I understand--beca...I don't know that I can say I understand--because I don't. I haven't lived in a NICU--or been to one for that matter (wimp you say--true) But I do understand that ironically weird feeling of loving something you should loathe. I miss living at the hospital (i know, sick right), but it is true. The only excuse I can come up with to get me back there is making Blaine impregnate me and we all know that ain't happen-in' tomorrow.

I'm glad things are going well so far! Eloise and I are sending her lots of good digestion vibes.

I stopped over with a pack and a couple nurses were talking about how she had left that morning. <br /><br />I'm glad you had such a great experience with CCH and I hope CHOP is the last stop on CA's way home.allyhttp://www.mylifewiththem.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085597284217459353.post-30599648969564513122010-07-28T14:54:19.773-04:002010-07-28T14:54:19.773-04:00Hang in there and get some rest!!!Hang in there and get some rest!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085597284217459353.post-65601985573068999352010-07-28T13:08:12.372-04:002010-07-28T13:08:12.372-04:00NICU mourning is normal. i longed for our old NIC...NICU mourning is normal. i longed for our old NICU when we were transferred to our Children's hospital. not that a children's hospital isn't amazing, its just a different feeling at a teaching hospital that has SO many kids. <br /><br />ps, you'll mourn again when you finally leave the NICU. it's messed up cause you're so excited to be home, but it happens. heads up. :) <br /><br />i'm glad she wasn't aspirating, yay!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422497728521679173noreply@blogger.com
