I was told by the NICU staff that we are not to allow any visitors (not even family) because of the severe flu season we have been hit with over here. Sadie is lucky to be alive and we want to keep her as healthy and thriving as we can. Her immune system is weak given all she has gone through anyways, so we ask that everyone please respect the instructions given to us from the NICU doctor and nurses. EIRMC has even been closed down to all visitors under 18 and pregnant women (unless they and coming in to deliver), due to the severe flu season. This is very serious. When we start allowing visitors, here is what we will have you do:
1. Wash your hands for at least a minute at our kitchen sink.
2. Use hand sanitizer (we will provide) afterwards before touching the baby.
IF YOU HAVE BEEN AROUND SICK PEOPLE AT ALL, WE ASK THAT YOU DO NOT VISIT. IF YOU HAVE BEEN SICK YOURSELF, WAIT FOR A WHILE AFTER RECOVERING SO AS NOT TO PASS YOUR VIRUS ON TO SADIE.
Thanks.

I can't even imagine what your little family has been through. I'm so happy to hear that Sadie is doing well and that she made it home safely. It sounds like she is a little fighter and is here for a reason. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Good idea to post this. I would think people would be very respectful of this request.
I love you!
Congrats you too!! We are so happy Sadie is here. We know first hand how hard the NICU is; both emotionally and physically. Please know we are thinking and praying for your family. There is an end...we promise. She will come home :)
oops...congrats you TWO!
Oh Haley, I'm so glad that she is doing well. I was choking up during your post because I want you to have that precious little baby. I hope things keep looking up. Sadie is a beautiful name :)
congrats!
