We can't begin to describe how thankful we are for the talented and committed staff in the Infant Special Services Center. For those wondering, it's not called a NICU (neo-natal ICU) because the ward accepts babies who have already been discharged. Megan and I joked on several occassions that it is like having the world's greatest baby-sitters -- 24/7 care, expert advice, and constant attention.The ward also has volunteer "cuddlers" who come in to hold and feed babies. Typically elderly and retired (think nice grandmas), cuddlers are there to give the twins additional affection since we couldn't be there all day. Plus, cuddlers are renowned for their knitting experience. All of the hats and blankets (including the ones in the photo) were made by cuddlers for babies to use during their stay in the hospital. Very nice to see the twins in something other than pink and blue stripes.
