A Breath of Fresh Air

Notice anything different?  :)

We're pleased to introduce you to the ET tube, cardiac line and pacer wire free Josephine Elora Sanford.  (Almost looks like a completely different baby, doesn't she?)

After receiving the go-ahead from the Nurse Practitioner on duty, Josephine and Mommy had a great time playing dress-up today.  Josephine can be seen below in a fashionable mint green romper adorned with a festive butterfly applique (notice too how very well the romper matches the glowy pulse oximeter on her wrist and the tubing for the new RAM cannula, positioned just under her nose.)  Although we couldn't fit headbands around the new tubes and wires, we made due by clipping her hair accessory to the Near wire.  The result is a look we like to call ICU chic.  Is it just me, or does this little diva know she's looking good?




Next order of business for Miss Josephine is to learn to tolerate feeds and gain weight and strength.  Having mastered the art of binky use in only one night, she's well on her way.  Step-down Unit, look out...Josephine is headed your way soon!
