Looks as if he’s the newest member of Blue Man Group?

What a wonderful invention! I’m guessing it was invented by a parent who was upset their own baby couldn’t have the therapy at home.

I would have loved to have that 24 years ago with my girls. But I’m glad we have it now! What an absolutely wonderful shot. It looks as if he is wrapped in G-d’s love.

Keep up this grandparent stuff. It’s cool.

How nice for Parker to be able to see, but also for everyone else to be able to see his sweet eyes!

Hooray! What a great Christmas gift. Technology is a wonderful thing, even moreso when it clearly reflects love and compassion.

That really is awesome.

What a great invention! I remember my little boy all naked in the incubator with the mask over his eyes. He looked so vulnerable. Parker looks all cozy and cuddled. He’s beautiful!

I’m glad you explained Tron, for I surely didn’t know what it was. I agree with Afton — wrapped in G-d’s love.

What a beautiful baby! And the light invention is so convenient. Almost 30 yrs ago my daughter was 4wks early and had to be tied by wrists and ankles to the table because she kept pulling the hose of the respirator out of her mouth and the I.V. out of her navel. I kept telling the dr.s she didn’t want to be there. I guess the lights were annoying. I know I wouldn’t like it. My son was lucky enough to just need to sit in the sunshine for a few days. My how medicine has advanced in the last three decades!

Well we’ve come a long way Charlie Brown.

Another tale here. Older DD had Elastoplast ‘sunnies’ 16 years ago, they were truly horrible, and other families used have difficulty involving siblings with the newest arrivals with the cosmetic look of the things.

That is definitely the RIGHT use of technology!!!

I love THIS kind of techno advance. I’ve been very happy to watch the progression from hospital and incubator to these ‘at home’ solutions.

It’s so nice that they have updated the bilirubin light, my oldest spent 4 days in the incubator in the newborn area at the hospital at Larson Barracks
in Wurzberg, Germany, I was so worried I was a new mom with no one from home. He looks happy and content.

How wonderfull to see this technique in action. The Dutch weaving organisation had a lecture last autumn from a textile researcher about modern fiber and textile inventions and he mentioned these blankets among other inventions like woven biker helmets. I didn’t know that they are in use already.

Thank you, and all the best for you and your family these last days of 2010 and next year.

How exceedingly clever! It’s funny how once you see an idea come to fruition you think ‘Oh, how simple is that?!’ but the REAL challenge is in coming up with the idea….

just found your blog by random while looking for knitted shawl patterns. Thats an amazing invention and something that many parents would love if their child needed the light therapy after being born. Thankfully my lil guy (now turning 3) only needed to sit in sunlight. Such a beautiful baby boy.
