Amid The Intensity Of Neonatal ICU, Havens For Privacy Begin To Emerge

Amid The Intensity Of Neonatal ICU, Havens For Privacy Begin To Emerge: "The room will allow private good-byes, and it will also provide a place for discussions about babies who may face surgery or a lifetime of challenges, says Dr. Victor Herson, the medical director of the NICU at CCMC. 'For every one death, we have 10 serious conversations, maybe about a baby with a poor long-term prognosis.'
The cozy room with subdued dark-blue walls is set up like a living room. On one wall are plugs that allow parents to wheel in the bassinette and spend quiet time with a baby without removing life-sustaining equipment. Doyens says anybody who has had a premature baby knows the time in the neonatal intensive care unit can be a harrowing roller coaster ride.'Caroline's Room makes that ride a little less bumpy,' he says."
What a great way of keeping the memory of their baby alive for ever !
