Pediatric ICU where the nurse to patient ratio is 1:1. It's a great place when constant and intensive care is required... but it's noisy. Vitals are taken hourly so patients are poked and prodded almost consistently. If a serious alarm goes off for any patient, the monitors in all rooms sound the alarm. One of the nurses said she hears the alarms (in her head) on the train ride home, and for about an hour after she gets home.
The team of doctors and other medical stakeholders meet daily outside patients rooms to discuss each case in detail. Parents are invited to attend and before it concludes, parents are invited to ask questions. The doctor in blue (arms crossed) is 1 of 2 neurosurgeons who operated on Madi... the best chordoma neurosurgeon on the planet.
Madi was released from ICU on June 30. The doctors continue to agree that she is doing very well all things considered. I'm sure Madi is looking forward to the opportunity of some constant sleep, and perhaps some quieter time.
