Ironically we could have visitors, DADDY Could go see Mikey and then come up to the room but *I* wasn't allowed anywhere near him. :( HUH? LOL.. AND the whole family had already had H1N1 while I was pregnant LOL. I see the reason for the rules but *sigh* they are a bit of a pain lol :) Hopefully Ella will be out and home by the time Olivia is two :) Ok hopefully by the time Mikey is 3 so Ella better hurry it up :) Just kidding ;) Hugs to you all and you are a great and awesome Momma and you are doing a wonderful job balancing both baby girls :) <br />(Oh ok. fine.. and Shane is a great and awesome dad and is doing a wonderful job too.. There so Shane doesn't feel left out LOL :) )newincshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11739040472599224347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488369678165635033.post-56528093393906498352010-10-10T22:28:49.672-07:002010-10-10T22:28:49.672-07:00She's too young to be able to see her once a w...She's too young to be able to see her once a week. Because it's RSV season, they have a really strict policy on sick people and kids coming into the hospital. Once she is 2, she can come and see Ella ONCE for 15 minutes. If she was over 5, she'd be able to see her once a week for 15 minutes. It makes me sad, but I understand why they have these rules in place.<br /><br />The sibling room is on a separate floor then the NICU. It's on the skyway level where it's just the welcome desk etc and not in any contact with any of the floors that have patients on it. I wish there was a way for her to see her through a window or door :-/ <br /><br />We talk about Ella and look at pictures and I think that helps. She sees a picture of Ella and says "Ella!!". We also have a book called "No Bigger then my Teddy Bear" and when I read that to her her, and she saw a picture of a baby in an incubatorm, she pointed at it and said "Ella!!".mamachristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14185723877253399052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488369678165635033.post-52888623984442317732010-10-10T22:21:32.814-07:002010-10-10T22:21:32.814-07:00YAY for all of the awesomely good news and I am so...YAY for all of the awesomely good news and I am so excited that you have an awesome nurse who actually requests Ella :) AND that she is pushing for Kangaroo care! :) I am SOOO happy that you are going to get to hold her! :)<br /><br />Olivia is expected to do some things differently... I am so sorry this is so hard for her! :( Of course it can't be helped.. when Ella feels better can Olivia come see her again? Maybe once a week would help :) When you take her to the sibling room can she see Ella from the door or a window? Even if she can't get too close just SEEING her might help!? :) Just a few ideas... <br /><br />I know you will make the right decision and make things ok with both of your girls! You are an awesome momma :)newincshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11739040472599224347noreply@blogger.com
