Family Centered Maternity Care BOO YAH!!!!

Yippee! Yahoo! My opinion was heard and the visitation policy at work has been changed. Today at work I got the official e-mail that went out to all the staff outlining the new policy. It is now up to the patient who is in her room, as long as the situation is safe. She can have her family, her friends, and her children with her if she so desires. We are still encouraged to keep visitors to a minimum and we are still not allowing children in L&D except the baby's siblings, but the ultimate decision lies with the patient herself, where it should lie.

I'm giddy about this decision. I'm ecstatic about this decision! This is EXACTLY what I wanted to see happen.

TJ and Jessica said...: That is so awesome! Good for you Mom! When I go in labor I have a small list of people that I want there with me so hopefully the hospital here does the same. AND YOU ARE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ONES ON THAT LIST! :); April 14, 2010 at 4:22 PM
Mindy Hawks said...: I am SO happy about this! I was planning on throwing a big fit at the hospital if they weren't going to let a sister or grandma or someone in the room with me, so I'm glad I won't have to complain now!; April 16, 2010 at 2:49 PM

Deep Thoughts by Joey

"I know I don't act like it sometimes, but I really do like Dad."
"Aw, funny Mom. All full of laughter and clumsiness."
"I think I have something wrong with my stomach, or maybe with my uterus."
"Ever since you guys got back from Hawaii, you're all in love with each other."
"I might need you to slap me down some bucks so I can buy a snowcone."
"I always like to share everything before I eat, because then I know if it's poison or not."
"See, Dad, you should never trust a girl, because most of the girls in the entire world have short-term memory loss."
"I know where I want to go for my birthday. How about Jamaica?"
"My stomach hurts. Maybe I should get my intesticles checked."
"Dad, did you know the Nuggets and the Avalanche play at the same stake center?"
Joey: "I know what the 'S' stands for and what the 'B' stands for, but what is the 'O'?" Mom: "What is the 'S'?" Joey: "Some uh nuh."
"By any chance, could we maybe go to Asia sometime?"
"I know what midwives do. When you guys (nurses) take a lunch break, they walk around and check on all the pregnant people. So if you don't take a lunch break, then they don't to anything."
"Duh, Mom. It's not the nineteen-hundreds anymore."
"Did you know that chickens have two butts? The extra one is for eggs."
"For Halloween, I want to be a knight in suiting armour."
Joey loaded his back pack with heavy rocks. When asked why, he replied, "Because someone tried to steal it. Now they can't lift it."
(while flexing muscles in front of the mirror) "Do I have a six-pack? No, I think I only have a two-pack."
Mom (in the car): "Why do I always have to stop and pee and you guys never do?" Joey: "Because boys have two nuts and girls only have one."
(in a jetted tub in a hotel room) "I've got some major bubblage going on here!"
(in the grocery store) "I was being followed by a lost baby, but then the owner came and found her."
"Me and my girlfriend are going on a date tomorrow. We might go to Red Lobster, or maybe to Family Dollar."
"Mmmm, this smells like Dad's nice armpits!"
"I'm writing a bee-ography on the Birdman for school."
(when I can't remember something): "Dad, don't you think Mom has anesthesia?"
