We have never had a reunion where I work for all the NICU babies. We had the first annual reunion yesterday. There was such a great turn out and we will do it again next year.
These are my friends Monica and Yolie. They worked the registration table and loved being the first to see all the kids.
Dr. Dolphin was there to greet all the kiddos.
This is the tile wall you see upon entering the Children's Hospital. All the kids were able to make tiles yesterday that will go onto the wall.
This is Kooper. I often think back on taking care of him. I reminisced with his mom about one day in particular where he gave us a big scare. She remembered it well. Koop is doing well now and isn't he cute.
This is Teri. She is an OT in the NICU where I work. She took care of Motor Boat during his stay with us and followed him closely after he moved to the Children's Unit. She has missed him greatly and follows his progress closely on the blog. Hi Teri! She was so glad to see him. She needed a Motor Boat fix.

There was a clown there who did some magic tricks for the kids.

This is Cynthia. She is one of the Assistant Nurse Managers in the
NICU. Everyone was so glad to see Motor Boat again. He is getting heavy and her arms started to hurt after a while.

These lovely ladies are some more of my co-workers. Betty (is now retired and living the high life :P),
Evalou is a nurse on the unit and like me nowhere near retirement, Connie is another one of our
OTs and she loves the babies, Ina is another retired nurse but she comes back to work with us occasionally (she just can't live without us).

This is a little another little guy from the unit. He had a very rough ride but is doing great now.

This is the tile Sasha made to go on the wall.

Here are the girls making their tiles.

Here is Yellow Bird and her tile.
So, it was a wonderful event. Lots of fun for all. It is good to see the results of all our hard work. I loved seeing the babies I cared for but also showing off how wonderful Motor Boat is doing. Can't wait till next year.
