Ryan's NICU Room 2/10/09

In case you were wondering what a private NICU room looks like, here it is! I took a short video of Ryan's NICU room on Feb. 10th so that we'd remember it and could show it to him when he gets older. I was SO thankful that the medical center where he was born had individual NICU rooms as it was incredibly nice to be able to stay overnight in the room (on a decent-sized "couch"), keep food and drinks there, and most importantly to have privacy (for sleeping, pumping, nursing, talking with visitors, etc.) When Ryan was limited to very minimal stimulation, it was nice to be able to close the door and keep noise/disruptions to a minimum. During both Ethan and Ryan's NICU stays I could not have imagined having to leave them every night and not to even have an option of staying with them.
