Happy Saturday to all our supporters, I want to send an UPDATE on Carilion Children's Hospital in Roanoke, Virginia! 

This is Chrystal and her baby Archer at their first meeting on April 6th. The NICU ban was implemented the very next day and this mother baby pair has been separated ever since. 

Chrystal called me this morning to let me know that the NICU informed her today that "Carilion is exploring a different option [to their NICU Ban]... and within a week will be opening it's doors to at least one parent."
.
This is not a victory until parents and babies are reunited, but it's PROGRESS and we will celebrate!! ❤️YOU helped make this happen!! ❤️Also WOW 2,014 signatures!!
.
Thank you to everyone who has signed and shared the petition, to the strong-as-hell NICU parents who have endured the worst and shared their stories to shine a light on unethical rule changes like this one that are neither evidence based nor family-centered.
.
Let's keep going!! Please share share share! We can't let up now.  #empowerednicuparenting
