The first baby I saw that was born to one of the mother's that we are treating to prevent transmission. Mom brought her at two days old sick as stink. I admitted her not sure if she was going to make it. I was crushed that day. These were supposed to be our healthy babies that we just get to play with and hold while seeing mom then tell mom the test is negative. I thought to myself, "I cannot handle it if these kids are going to be dying on me too". Luckily it was just an infection from the delivery and she responded really well to the antibiotics. She is now a month old and growing well. The sweater that she has is one from two huge boxes that Pinkett found in the hospital storeroom. In addition to the sweaters there are knitted bears and dolls. We are not sure what they were for, but we are having a blast giving them out!
