NICU at Northeast Ga. Medical Center








I have just completed one of the coolest jobs for the Medical Center in Gainesville, Ga. I was asked to photograph some of the children that have been in the NICU part of the hospital and print really large prints for them to hang in the unit. It was a cool job because of the fact that I was able to meet some really great kids along the way. To hear some of the stories about how small some of them were and to see them now was amazing. I have also been working with the P/R Dept. at the hospital on showing some of the babies in the NICU. You would be amazed at how small some these babies are. It will really makes you think about your own children like I did about mine. I know I do not thank God enough for the healthy children that I have been blessed with. So when your kids are driving you crazy sometimes, take a moment to think about the parents that are spending the night in this unit with a child that weighs about two pounds or less and watching them trying to breathe in a Plexiglas incubator.
