Nurses at Via Christi St. Joseph made a first Halloween for babies in the neonatal intensive care unit, KWCH 12 reported. They sewed costumes by hand and dressed their smallest patients as a bee, a butterfly, a flamingo, an order of fries, and Winnie the Pooh.
The costumes were a day on the unit in Wichita, made by the nurses who already care for those babies. The list is the outfits the station described, not a catalog of every baby in the hospital.
