a post in numbers (following my good friend M's last one)

7:37 - time I headed to the operating room this morning
2 - big brown eyes asking "what's going on?" - that baby is a heartbreaker in the making!
86 - minutes from "timeout" to final sutures
80 - fingers and toes counted on discharge exams
20 - carseats, diaper bags, and other misc "patient belonging bags"
4 - happy, healthy infants released home today from our side of the unit
89- current census (AFTER the discharges)

What an AMAZING day in the NICU :)
It was my first time to go to the operating room with one of our kiddos, and it was fun (for me, probably not so much for the baby). Our pediatric surgeons are awesome and the baby did great and is recovering quickly. We'll be adding another to the "homegoing" list very soon!
