It has been a very busy time in our NICU and L&D departments!  We are seeing record numbers of babies being born...amazing and such a blessing. 

Statistically speaking, most deliveries go off without a hitch and the babies go home with their Moms within a day or two.  Then, there are NICU babies....those who stay in the hospital for awhile (sometimes a long while).  Unfortunately, there is also another group of babies.....those who never make it to the NICU or Nursery, who never make it home with their loved ones.

This past week our own NCBH family suffered the loss of one of these precious little ones.  We mourn with his parents, shed tears for them, and pray for their peace.  For all of you who have been down this road, we offer our heartfelt condolences and prayers.

Cradle of Wings - In Memory

by Pam Armstrong and Susan Armstrong Lunn
There's a place in your heart, the angels know

Where the love for your child begins to grow

And they sing out the joy of that tender glow

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Though there's much to see through new little eyes,

When they start to close, with soft weary sighs.

In a cradle of wings, the little one lies

And the angels' Hallelujahs hush to lullabies

And the angels' Hallelujahs hush to lullabies
There's a place in your heart, where you realize

That the love for your child, will forever abide

It's the cradle of wings, where your little one lies

Where the angels' Hallelujahs hush to lullabies…

It's where the angels' Hallelujahs hush to lullabies
Lullaby, little darlin' lullaby,

Lullaby, my sweet darlin' lullaby,

We will hold you and we'll see you by and by

We love you and we'll miss you, bye bye
