Thank you to the family members that helped with our NICU service project. We bought from Costco two microwaves today. Grandpa Val picked them up for us since we were called to Eden for her breathing problems early today (she is stable now). Val and Jeremy brought the microwaves to the NICU once Eden was stable. The microwaves are for the two NICU lactation rooms. The NICU staff, especially the lactation nurses, were ecstatic; very grateful to say the least. The hospital maintenance people are installing them today and tomorrow.
I am very grateful too, because I have such a great family willing to give to others, and now I can use the lactation room microwaves to sterilize my pump equipment for Eden along with all of the other NICU nursing moms. This donation will be useful long after Eden graduates the NICU. These NICU moms are such champs to pump for months for their babies. I look up to them. It takes real commitment, desire, and work. Mother's milk is so good for the ill and premature babies in the NICU. Thank you. Thank you.
You are the best family! Hang in there.

Wow, what a great idea! This will help the mom's so much. I always felt like when I was at the NICU pumping that I never stayed on top of steralizing because I didn't always like to ask the nurse to have the cap do it. You guys are the best!
