I C U later, I.C.U

It took 59 days. But today we were wheeled out of ICU and into the Infant Care Center (ICC).

It was a very short move. The ICC is next door to the ICU. In fact, from the old location to the new is a move of, at most, 12 yards as the proverbial crow flies (if the crow could fly through walls).
The ICU has incubators. So does the ICC. And breathing machinery. And monitors for everything imaginable. It is the same doctors that round. But the way you feel in there makes the ICC and the ICU worlds apart.
The ICU is very tense. There is always an alarm going off somewhere. It is never quiet. You go in there and after 20 minutes you are exhausted. It is hard work just being there. No doubt about it - when the chips are down there is no other place you'd want to be.

But it is time to go now.

The ICC is silent, relaxing, and comfortable.

It is time to do some serious growing!
