Skin to skin
One of the things I do in my “down time” at the hospital this rotation is “skin to skin” with the preemies. While doing this, I bonded with a 1 week old orphan named “Emily” pictured here..
I love this little lady…. hard to fathom that she is parent-less…
Incredible to hold and cuddle such a tiny little girl… I hope that we find her a good parent & that she does not get lost in the shuffle of bureaucracy… time will tell.. I’ll keep you posted…

EMILY ANN! this little baby was adopted while I was at the Medishare tent. She was sharing an incubator with a baby who passed, and his mother decided that she needed an outlet for her love - and adopted Emily!
