I'm responding to Allison's comment from the New Life post just cause it's a good question and I want everyone to know all about New Life!

"Hey thanks for posting those pictures. I can't tell you how eager i am to come and see what they are doing there! I used to work in NICU myself and I'd love to see what they are doing. Are they really sick babies or ones that are stable and just need to stay warm and grow and feed??"

They do use the term NICU loosely. It's really just for the newborns to be more protected, since they are HIV+ upon arrival. They don't need to be subjected to random volunteers, even though they are very strict about the hand washing, etc. They keep all the babies in the NICU until 8 weeks or so, until they are healthy enough to fight off everyday germs. There are two teeny tiny little girls in incubators. It was almost weird to see them in such a "normal" environment. They take the babies to hospital (basically, going to the doctor is referred to as going to the hospital here) when they need to, but they have such great facilities and nurses on staff at all times that they are able to keep them at the site most of the time. Honestly, this place amazes me at the standard of care!!! Especially for Africa!!!
