Oops!

Okay, well, yesterday, I told a small fib. Pippa was not in an isolette any longer!!!!! She also was graduated to a bed of her own. Also got the info that Mama was able to hold both babies at one time....the management was a little concerned......they gave "that" look. But Mama held her ground. :)

This morning, the babies both had their brain ultrasounds. No word yet about the results. Pippa's took longer than Jasper's. That was worrisome. The brain scans were supposed to be early this morning, but the ultrasound tech didn't come until about the time that Mama was supposed to leave. I will post the results when they are available.

So....did you know what kangeroo care was????

"During Kangaroo Care, also known as skin-to-skin care, the baby is placed on the parent's chest, clad only in a diaper and cap. The baby's head is turned to the side so that it's ear is against the parent's heart. Vent tubing and wires are taped to the parent's gown. Usually, two nurses assist in the transfer from warming bed or isolet to the parent's chest. This process can take just 10 minutes, even with a vented baby. Kangaroo Care can also benefit older preemies and full-term babies."
