Dear Ina and all,

about readmitting preemies to NICU:  At Geisinger Med Ctr, where both of my
children stayed, they DO readmit previously discharged preemies to the NICU.
I have a friend who is the parent of a 23-24 wkr who has been readmitted
several times to NICU, even when he was a couple mo out of the hosp.  It
must be just different policies and procedure.  But my heart goes out to
those of us who don't get such prompt, efficient care.

Sincerely,
Michelle Way
