Live-stream app helps families connect with NICU babies
HOUSTON (October20,

When
about-to-be parents rush to the hospital for delivery full of the joy and
terror, there is almost never the thought that when they leave their newborn
will not be with them. They're unprepared for the heartbreak of an empty lap.
But an infant born too sick or too soon to go home may remain behind in the
neonatal intensive care unit for a few days or for months on end. This week,
for example, Kamryn Ruth Abbott celebrated her third month of life at
Memorial
Hermann Memorial City Medical Center's NICU.
