Wyatt and I were on the news for about 16 seconds. It wasn't about CDH though. We were interviews about the hospitals new facilities that are being built. The new NICU will give each family their own room with a window. Here is the link.

More windows in the NICU will be nice!!! Alyssa was in a private room when she was on ECMO but we felt so closed off. It was nice to be in a "regular" NICU nursery with other parents. I'm still friends with 2 other Moms that were there the same time we were 8 years ago.

When my daughter was born, we were in a NICU that had bays and there were about 12 babies a bay. It was loud, busy, congested. I hated it. When she was transferred to Boston, we had our own room (pretty much) except when there was another baby who needed ECMO. We were in the "ECMO suite." At any given time, there was no more than one other family. It was soooooo nice! Then we went back to the congested NICU. =( Luckily they built a new one that opened less than a year after we left so families don't have to deal with that anymore.
