Are you looking for special baby shower decorations for preemies or twins?

Preemies: The tiny survivors

Posted by kim on August 26, 2007

Good article in the Denver Post today (thanks Patrick for sharing)…

Michael Sierra – 4 weeks old, 2 1/2 pounds and swollen like an overstuffed sausage – needed attention. And he was getting it.

A defect was making his heart work overtime. Infection flowed through his blood, and a hole in his gut was spilling poison into his body.

He had survived a flight from the Rapid City, S.D., hospital where he was born to Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center. Now, he desperately needed surgery, but his doctors feared he was too sick to make one more trip, even from the neonatal intensive-care unit to an operating room a floor below.

So the operating room came to him.

Read the rest of the article here. The article instantly reminded me of the operating room having to come to Macy when she had NEC. Terrible memories.

Fostering a sharing and caring environment at home is nothing short of difficult. Especially for twins, who are often times expected to be each other’s best friends, expectations can be overwhelming. Bunk beds for your twins can grant them individual spaces while still learning valuable lessons about compromise and cooperation. The bunk bed helps save space in the kids’ room while your twins work together toward a common goal, whether it be making the bed or deciding who gets to sleep on the top bunk. Comfortable, secure, stylish, and a space saver, bunk beds can also be a vital learning tool for teaching your kids an important lesson in cohabitation.
