Welcoming Visitors...

We are excited that Charles will soon be on his way home. We expect many family and friends will want to meet the babies. We welcome all family and friends to visit the babies here in Millville.

First, we would like to explain some things that might not occur to some. The babies were born on December 11th about 2 months premature. Even now, they will not reach full-term until February 11th. They are more susceptible to infections and other stresses than are babies at full-term. For at least the first month we are going to take the babies out only for a doctor appointment. After that, we will avoid taking the babies to crowded locations, until RSV and flu season are over in April. We will avoid smoking locations because doctors tell us that no level of smoke is an acceptable risk.

When considering a visit, if anyone in your household has had a fever, sickness or been treated by medicine for a fever or sickness within the last 24 hours, please reschedule your visit for a later date.

When you arrive to visit we ask …

- wash your hands
- drape yourself with a clean receiving blanket or you can bring an extra shirt, if that makes you more comfortable. This is for the babies’ safety and your benefit also. We don’t want the babies to come in contact with anything that you might have come across on your journey to visit. Babies spit-up and the drape will save your street clothes
- # of visitors is limited to 4 at a time – the babies are easily over-stimulated. They tire if there are too many people around. This can make them more susceptible to other ailments.

These precautions are recommended by the doctors and healthcare professionals. We know you will understand and respect these simple rules. We look forward to your visit and get acquainted with these precious babies.

Thank you!
