In the NICU

I have to say that we thought the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) and staff were so wonderful. They made us feel like everything was well under control. He went there a few minutes after he was born because he was having trouble breathing. They called it respiratory distress, similar to what happens with premature lungs. It got more complicated when it came time to feeding him because he couldn't breath and eat at the same time. Both conditions just took time to conquer. He has made up for it now though. He eats like a champ.
Have you ever seen toes longer than these?????

The below picture was with all his tubes and wires, I was happy to see those come off.
