Spring is finally (maybe? hopefully?) upon us! Please take the time to read the message below and RSVP if you’d like to attend!
The Home Oxygen Parent Exchange is a program dedicated to providing safe social outings for graduates of the NICU and their families in order to meet other families with similar issues of transitioning to life after the NICU. The class is offered one time per month from October to May.
2010-2011 dates are:
March – 26th
April – 30th
May – 21st – last group
We will be offering two music classes with a parent discussion group in between. The goal is that one group will attend the first music class and stay for the parent group. Then the second group will come for this same parent discussion time and attend the second music class. A sibling program will be offered in the adjoining room for older siblings who wish to attend.
The timeline will be as follows:
9:15 arrival for the first group
9:30-10:20 first music class
10:15 arrival for the second group
10:30-11:00 parent discussion
11:00-11:50 second music class
We will continue to meet in Byers A and B on the first floor of the Enders Research Building, the building just to the right of Children’s as you enter the Parking Circle. Free parking stickers will be provided.
***When you RSVP, please indicate whether you prefer to attend the first or the second class. It is critical that you RSVP because we will be limiting each group to no more than 14 children. Once you reply, you will receive a confirmation. If the time slot that you chose is already full, you will be invited to attend the other time or will be asked to wait until next month.
***Please let me know if you will be able to make the March date and if any siblings will be coming so we can prepare our Child Life volunteers.
