Yes, he's at Christiana, was your LO there too?
He was transfered to AI DuPont briefly in January for his PDA ligation surgery - and he may be discharged from AI after hernia surgery - but the bulk of the NICU stay has been Christiana.

Re: ***irishdo***
No, we spent our 111 days @ Bryn Mawr. I did my residency at AI and spent A LOT of time in the NICU at Christiana. Some of my mentors are attendings there. You are in excellent hands if you did not already know. I really really really wanted to do a NICU fellowship there but had some scholarship obligations which prevented it, And AI rocks too!
Congrats on the light at the end of the tunnel!!!!! And hang in there. I found the last few weeks to be the hardest in some ways.
I didn't realize you were a neo (or NNP) - cool!
We really like everyone at Christiana - they are a pretty amazing team of doctors, nurses, therapists, etc. We even like the janitorial staff! I feel so bad for some of the women on here who don't have a good NICU experience. I like AI but feel a bit under the microscope there given that they have 1/5 the patients that Christiana has - too much attention makes me nervous.
Thanks! And I agree on the last few weeks being harder. I think the anticipation of having him so close to coming home is building and making the NICU experience a bit challenging now.
I am not a neo, I do general peds.
Let me know if you need anything esp once you are home. I am still pretty connected to AI. I even take the boys to an AI outpt practice since we are close to Wilmington....we live in Delco.
Hang in there. Its getting close!
Still cool! And thanks for the offer!
