NICU Reunion

Every year, Rush Copley hosts a NICU reunion for all the babies that were once in its care. We look forward to this event every year as a time to reflect back on those days and how far our three miracle babies have come. Born at 30weeks 3 days, they needed breathing and feeding support for their first weeks of life. They lived their first 5 1/2- 7 weeks in the NICU at Copley and we are so thankful to the doctors and nurses there for all of their efforts. This year the kids went dressed as characters from The Wizard of Oz. Emmerson was Dorthy, of course, Brody was the Scarecrow, and Logan was the Lion. They were adorable and for the first time, we actually won a prize during the costume contest! They were runners up for the cutest costumes...and the only group winners. :) This was the first year that the kids could really take advantage of all the events they offer like story time, pumpkin painting, and games. We have no idea how they went to sleep that night after all the candy and sugar they ingested. Although we don't usually let them have those types of things, this is a very special event...and spoiling them that night always feels right!
