Girl's Day at the NICU Spa
When Claire found out she had newborn jaundice, she was not pleased. It meant laying under the UV lamp, lit up like a blue light special at K-Mart with only a diaper and mandatory eye mask - no onesies, no blankies, no swaddling, nothing but bare baby. Mommy and Claire tried to make the best of it though. Mommy kept telling Claire that other ladies pay for this type of treatment,and in fact Claire's skin has turned a lovely bronze because of the UV reaction with her blood chemistry. The doctors say she should have a good tan for the next 2 months at least. She's ready for some well-earned R&R in sunny climes. Hawaii - anyone? Now, if only the NICU nurses would come around with some additional manicures, pedicures, massages and facial treatments, Claire thinks she might learn to like this kind of thing.
