Hey all, just thought I'd put a quick post out there regarding visitation. I'm sure many whom we've contacted have wondered about it and probably haven't wanted to interrupt anything or were unsure if they are allowed to stop up when a baby is in the NICU. I suspect that a number of years ago, that might've been more the case but now there is fairly liberal visitation allowed.
If anyone would like to stop up and see Zac and one or both of us at any time, there is no problem with that. For the purpose of keeping the area quiet, they do limit how many people can come back at once, but that's about it. I'd recommend calling either Katy or myself on our cell phones (e-mail if you don't have this) to make sure we are there. :) We're trying to be there a lot for Zac and also still take care of ourselves a bit so we stay healthy and sane, so we're not always around. However, once we arrive at the hospital, we stay. Well, Katy stays as I have often had errands to run and this next week need to begin working on finishing the basement room so Zac can have a bedroom upstairs by the time he comes home.
If you don't know where the NICU is at the Med Center, it's pretty easy. I'd recommend parking in the Clarkson Hospital visitors lot, just off 42nd street. Come in the main doors and after the information desk and another area, you'll see a hallway to your left with a sign on it that says "Hixon-Lied Center". Follow that direction and the signs to Elevator C. Take Elevator C up to the 4th floor, exit and turn to your right, around the little waiting area with the fake tree and cool kids furniture, and you'll see the front desk for the NICU. Pretty simple!
