Visitors

We have been blessed with many visitors over the past week and I know we have missed several of you. We don't want you to have to drive up to the hospital just to have to turn around and drive back home. We did some checking with the nursing staff and here is what we can do. Our phones have to be off while we are in the NICU. So if you call us and our phone doesn't even ring, it is more than likely off (or without service) which means we are probably here. You can also call the hospital at 392-4981. This number will bring you to the front desk. Just tell them that you are checking to see if the parents of Melanie Westra are here before you drive over and if they could connect you with the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit). Once they patch you through you can ask them the same question. So there are a couple of options, we hope they help. I'm going to post our cell numbers....knowing that none of you will put them on a telemarkerter list :) My cell is 644-5109 and Jeff's is 889-8553. Once again the hospital is 392-4981. Let us know if the hospital way doesn't work. Thanks for your understanding!

By the way....I have to let out the secret...I get to hold Melanie in about two hours!!!!! Yeah!!!! I cannot wait!

Enjoy every second of the holding time. I highly recommend doing skin to skin if you get a chance. It's an amazing experiece and can also help your little girl grow they say. Ask for more info. from your nurse. Finally, take lots of pictures. You'll never forget that first time! Hugs to you and Melanie - Sue Nykamp and boys
