This is baby Leya. The PICU beds are all adult sized beds covered in plastic sheeting. You can imagine how difficult it is to position our kids on a slippery sheet on an adult sized bed! We are extremely short on sheets, and we have almost no pillows or blankets. Night shift found huge rolls of gauze bandaging to use as pillows! So here is Leya, in her most comfortable breathing position - sitting up!
Awake now! She wins today's award for "best hair". =)
Such a happy baby! Shortly after this, she got the rest of her lines out and she is now eating and doing great!
Just to give you a better idea of what it looks like to have only adult sized beds for our patients. There really is a tiny baby in this bed!
