Although Halloween festivities looked a bit different this year, one tradition remained the same at the Mary Washington Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), where babies celebrated their first holiday. The costumed infants were a small way to bring joy to parents as well as the department’s staff.
The Halloween celebration is organized by nurses in the NICU where they work with parents to create a special costume and supervise the photos.
“When you are expecting a baby, a parent may not think about the possibility of their newborn having to be in a NICU during a holiday. These celebrations are a fun way for us to create normalcy and special memories for our families,” said Nancy Young, BSN, RNC-NIC, Nurse Manager of the NICU. “This celebration has been extra special for us this year, given the stressful, uncertain times, and I hope brought joy to our families and all who see these pictures.”
