Halloween is bringing some extra special treats to Sarasota Memorial Hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), where the hospital's tiniest patients are celebrating their first Halloween dressed in adorable costumes. From a tiny turtle to a superhero, a lion, a bear and more, the festive outfits are bringing smiles to NICU families and caregivers alike.
Thanks to the generous efforts of a former NICU mom, the costumes help bring a little holiday fun to families spending Halloween at SMH. For parents navigating the challenges of a NICU stay, the costumes offer a welcome moment of joy, normalcy and an opportunity to capture precious memories of their babies' first Halloween.
