down the bunny hole
Wednesday, June 29th, 2005 at about 9:14 pm
it was a busy day. 3 C-sections, a biopsy, a septic baby with PIE (and not the good kind), and a kid with anencephaly. an elevator in the middle of the NICU, nicknamed “the bunny hole” (named for the bunny suits people wear when they come in and out of it), brought us down to the rooms where the C-sections were done. our first C-section was quick– the doctor sliced open the uterus and let forth a fountain of amniotic fluid… and then pulled out a kid. the nurses grabbed it and quickly started rubbing, examining, and weighing. grace and i stood by as the nurse threw blood soaked towels our way and hoped we wouldn’t get splashed. next came a giant 9 pound baby, and then a tiny blue 6 pounder.
