(AURORA, Colo.) — For Valentine’s Day, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) nurses are celebrating the first Valentine’s Day for the babies in their care.
Children’s Hospital Colorado said the celebration at the Children’s Hospital Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora included dressing the babies in outfits and giving them handmade blankets.
The special day was possible thanks to the members of the hospital’s Sunshine Committee, a group of NICU nurses, team members, and volunteers who help families celebrate milestones and holidays so that their babies’ “firsts” are still special despite being in the hospital, according to Children’s Hospital Colorado.
