NICU Graduation party

We attended the anual NICU party last week at the hospital. We really enjoy going each year. We get to see the Dr.'s and nurses who cared for the babies and myself, and give them a big hug. It is a wonderful experience, and they will always have such a special place in my heart. We even saw the specialist who took care of them before they were born. We knew that as long as she had a close eye on them, they would be o.k. I am sure it is such a rewarding experience for them to see how far each child has come. We saw a little boy there who was in the NICU with the twins. He was born at 1lb! We enjoy seeing him, and how well he is doing. I am so grateful for the technology these days, it is just so amazing to me. A lot of these kids would not be here if they had been born before it! At the party they ask for the kids to wear their Halloween costumes. They have gifts, and games, and lots of candy for them. Here are some pictures of the party.......

Nurse Amber........our favorite!
