Brothers Finally Together

The NICU allowed LJ to have a 1 time big brother pass to see Wesley. He has not seen him since September. The unit has a policy that no one under 16 is allowed in from October 1 through April 30 due to RSV. It is a safety precaution to keep elementary and jr high students (who are exposed to crazy amounts of bacteria and viruses) out of the NICU to protect the babies from getting sick. Research has shown that as long as the child coming to visit is not sick, it does not really pose any greater threat to the babies. So, that being said, the NICU still will be enforcing their policy, but they will allow a 1 time pass for any big brother or big sister over the age of 6. LJ finally got to hold his little brother and enjoy some time with him.... pictures are below!
