gGroupo advocates forh transitionalome rooms in new T.F. hospital

By Ariel Hansen Times-News writer

Imagine: Your baby has been sick, in the hospital for weeks or even months on medications and machines, with nurses and doc- tors hovering day and night. Tomorrow you get to take your baby home, but tonight you’re terrified. What if you make a mistake? What if you don’t see a sign of trouble before it’s too late? Then the nurses take you to a “room-inn,” a comfy hotel-like room right there in the hospital. They’re just feet away if you have a problem, but it’s up to you to spend tonight realizing you can do it, you can be the caregiver for this fragile little life.
