Memorial Hermann NICU Nurses Brew Up Some Halloween Fun

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- Just in time for Halloween, the staff at The Richard Rivas, MD Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Medical Center crafted up some delightful Tales from the Cribs. The first Halloween is indeed the sweetest and NICU staff enjoy creating memorable experiences for patient families by helping them gently dress up their precious newborn babies in hand-made costumes, including Princess Jasmine, Yoda, a pint-size cupcake, frog, a sweet piece of candy corn, Batman, a butterfly, plus twins Mickey and Minnie!

Parent and family bonding with all babies, especially more medically fragile ones like those in the NICU, is an essential part of healthy healing and growing. This is a heart-warming example of their NICU journey toward graduation home and a real treat for the eyes and heart alike.
