You just see how emotional that separation can be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In her patients\u2019 case, the infant was in the women\u2019s care unit, which at the time allowed one visitor per patient. The mother was in the ICU, which allowed no visitors. Before the pandemic, newborns could be brought to visit their mother in the ICU for skin-to-skin contact \u2013 an important part of the bonding experience for both mother and baby.<\/p>\n<p>Since that wasn\u2019t an option, Emerson found the type of small blanket she\u2019d used when her daughter was in the NICU. She brought it to the mother, who was able to place it on her chest for a few moments. Then she brought the blanket to the women\u2019s care unit and rested the newborn\u2019s head on it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat scent is very, very powerful,\u201d Emerson said. \u201cWe did what we could to give the mother something after she had lost complete control over her birth. Usually, that\u2019s the one time you come to the hospital that it\u2019s a happy experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Emerson said the pandemic has changed some expectations for family members of newborns, but that she\u2019s \u201cvery, very thankful\u201d the hospital continued to allow a support person throughout the changes in restrictions. Her own daughter is in good health after she was born in October 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverleigh is a thriving, emotionally-unstable toddler,\u201d she said with a smile.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><div class=\"su-row\">\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-2-3 su-column-centered\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;color: #930718\">You Make Extraordinary Possible<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\">Together, we recognize and honor the qualities within ourselves by shining a spotlight on how each and every one of us improve lives in big ways and small.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uchealthpoints.isrewards.com\/Recognition\/Award\/FormFlex.aspx?pr=JAwX5qZPSOA=&#038;m=N\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-flat\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#A22343;border-color:#821c36;border-radius:56px\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#be657c;border-radius:56px;text-shadow:none\"> Share a story<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nurse goes out of her way to make a bond through a blanket When a mother and her newborn were required to be on separate units during the COVID-19 pandemic at UCHealth Poudre Valley Hospital, Women\u2019s Care Nurse Erin Emerson knew firsthand how to make the most of the situation. \u201cI had a baby who [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2242,"featured_media":63555,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"on","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"Relevanssi image attachment filter Relevanssi index exclude","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[4826],"class_list":["post-63553","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-you-make-extraordinary-possible"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v27.7) -
