I was a little worried about you because I had worked at the same hospital and was less than thrilled with the care we gave in my unit(per our emails). Also, she wasn't bathed for 24 hours because of sugars are off, it can send a baby into further distress with being cold and trying to rewarm. That's pretty common at most hospitals regardless of nicu or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
