NICU to PICU





Yesterday, Carley made the move from the Neonatal ICU to the Pediatric ICU in preperation for her coming home. After spending 9 months in one place you can imagine how hard it was to leave. I think my wife took it the hardest. I hope Carley is too young to realize what is happening. Going home may be a lot harder than we ever imagined even though that was the goal all along. We’ll certainly miss everyone associated with the Neonatal ICU at UMC. There is really no way to pay someone when they care for your child, especially when you consider the quality of care and the amount of love she received. I’m hopeful that they will always feel welcome in our home and that they know how much we appreciate what they do.

Now she's gone. It looks so empty.




Settleing into her new "temporary" home.


Her first visitor, Nicole.



Picture right outside the Pediatric ICU. When I saw it I was scolded by my wife because I wasn't sure if it was Emiley, but after she saw the picture she wasn't sure. Sure looks like her what do ya'll think?



Went home for the weekend. Thought I'd share this picture, for those who know where home is.
