NICU Surprise Boxes: Geisinger Medical Center

Our third preemie gown donation this December was to the NICU at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pennsylvania. This donation was made in honor of Angel, who is not only a NICU graduate from the hospital, but also one of our gown recipients too!

They have a Level IV NICU and another associated facility has a Level II NICU as well. We've included Angel's story below.

The Level IV NICU at Geisinger's Janet Weis Children's Hospital in Danville offers the advanced "Cool Cap" and cooling blanket treatment for newborns who are suffering from brain swelling or lack of oxygen. As the name suggests, the treatment cools the newborn to keep it from swelling. Newborns born anywhere in Pennsylvania can be flown to the NICU in Danville if they require this treatment.

Angel Breha was taken care of by the Janet Weis Children's Hospital in Danville, PA for 3 weeks before my fiancée and I got involved with her as her foster parents.

She was diagnosed with cerebral palsy (with no swallow reflex) and I appreciate everything they did for her in those 3 weeks. The nursing staff was very excited the first day I went to see her, because due to her unfortunate situation of being in foster care she had no one to bond with.

They feared the toll this would take on her, she was already so fragile. I appreciate all they did to keep her healthy and socialized. As her foster parent I was going in to the NICU with absolutely no medical knowledge very much like a new mom. I was extremely scared and overwhelmed but the staff trained me on suctioning and G-tube care.

​With their encouragement I was confident enough to bring her home. She is almost 2 years old now and we recently adopted her!

I am always moved to tears on these NICU stories and to see just how far each amazing kiddo has come despite the rocky beginnings - below are the NICU smocks and other goodies sent to Geisinger Medical Center in honor of Angel and her life's journey! The ladybug hats are from Camryn Renea's Heart Journey in memory of her courageous heart's battle.

Medical marijuana is also called as the medical cannabis used for treating patients who are suffering from various serious and life threatening diseases as well as for herbal and medical therapy. Since the state government has permitted for medical use this treatment, lots of thing were said on this legalization. Some of them are in the favor of this marijuana's legalization while some others have different opinion about it.
