> And to make it even more annoying, the hospital later changed it's policy on newborns on antibiotics - if they are otherwise healthy they don't need to stay in the NICU anymore.
That sounds like a good policy change thou? Whilst I understand it must've been a grave ordeal to sort it out, I'd try to be glad for the families in similar situations now that wouldn't have to suffer from this any more instead of being annoyed.
Yes, sorry I meant it would have made things much easier.
My heart goes out to all the families with babies in the NICU. It is beyond stressful and obviously the financial side is nothing compared to the wellbeing of your baby, but then it hits you a few months later.
Yeah, we were there during peak COVID too, so it was our room, her room, and nowhere in between. I worked almost every day from her ICU room. I can still find myself hearing the beeps/alarms without actually hearing them, sort of like symptoms of PTSD.
