" So that &amp;quot;sluggish&amp;quot; liver I mentioned turned out to be a pretty crazy case of jaundice and we wound up staying in the hospital two extra nights. Watching our days-old baby &amp;quot;cook&amp;quot; under the bilirubin light was pretty traumatic\u2014especially when it just didn&amp;#039;t seem to be working. Rory and I had to hang out in our room and were called to the nursery every two hours or so to feed Emmett. The only thing that made the whole process slightly less excruciating: the ridiculously amazing nurses at St. Luke&amp;#039;s-Roosevelt.   Sure, sure, the doctors were pretty awesome, too. But we only got, say, 15 minutes of face time with a doctor every day. The nurses were with us around the clock, answering our (often-silly) questions, coaching us as we changed explosive poopy diapers, and calming us when they drew itty-bitty vials of blood from his heels. I knew our nurses were great when we checked out of the hospital, but I didn&amp;#039;t know how great until we checked into a second, closer-to-home hospital (back under the bilirubin light\u2014sigh) a day later. The nurses at the second hospital got the job done\u2014Emmett&amp;#039;s finally jaundice-free!\u2014but with only a fraction of the compassion and bedside manner of the nurses at St. Luke&amp;#039;s. In many ways, our second trip to the hospital was harder than the first\u2014even though only lasted 15 or so hours. How did the staff affect your hospital stay, post-baby? Were you lucky enough to have fantastic nurses, too? Or did the hospital staff just make you want to get home even more quickly? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
