Randall vs. John F.
Today's debat was very good. I liked that Randall delivered an awsome speech by baking his opions up with evidence from the reader and the text book but during cross examination, he didn't have an answer to every question. It's okay he did great. I liked John's argument the best because number one we are both abolishionist and second he had supporting details and very few evidence. I really loved many of his question during cross examination. But I didnt like how he didn't use all his time during the conclusions of his rebuttal. Personaly, I feel as though if he used all his rebuttal time, he would have won the debat. Over all I really enjoyed it. Congradulations to the both of you.

NICU Today!!!!
Earlier in the years there was no hospitals specific for children. Now the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia became a new method for reaching out to young children and serving them the best medical treatment in the country. " At C.H.O.P. we are committed to providing the best care and services to you and your child". In most cases, you can be with your child at the N.I.C.U. at any time. The staff of the N.I.C.U. will give you instructions on special hand washing techniques before entering the area. Occasionally, during a procedure, or when the hospital staffs are making "rounds" parents may be asked to wait for a few minutes before coming into the area. Many sick and premature babies are very susceptible to infection. Siblings should be carefully checked of signs of colds or other illness and be helped with hand washing before visiting the baby sibling in the N.I.C.U.
Before The NICU.
Health care in Philadelphia was different from today's medical treatment. For one, illnesses were treated at home because many families could not afford medical expenses. Children and infants were mainly admitted to adult hospitals and often died due to cross infection and neglect. The care of newborn babies, sick or well remained largely in the hands of mothers and midwives.
Some baby incubators, similar to those used for hatching chicks, were devised in the late nineteenth century. In the U.S. these where shown at commercial exhibitions, complete with babies inside, until 1943. It wasn't until after the Second World War those special care baby units were established in many hospitals. Incubators were expensive so the whole room often was kept warm.

Levels of The NICU.
The Neonatal Intensive Care Unite is designed for newborn babies born early, who have problems during delivery, or who develop problems while in the hospital. Although all NICU's care for babies who need extra attention, different NICU's offer different levels of care.
Level One: Basic Newborn Care: Level one nurseries care for healthy, full-term babies. They are able to stabilize babies born near term to get them ready to transform to facilities that offer special care.
Level Two: Speciality newborn Care: These nurseries can care for babies born at greater than 32 weeks gestation or who are recovering from more serious conditions.
Level Three: Subspecialty Newborn Care: Level three N.I.C.U.'s care for the sickest babies and offer the greatest variety of support.
Neonatologist are pediatricians with additional training in the care of newborn babies. They work there 24/7 to provide your baby the medicine and attention it needs. Nurses provide most of the day-to-day assessment and care of the babies in the N.I.C.U. They work closely with parents and neonatology to ensure the best care for the babies under their care.

Past Events of C.H.O.P.'s History.
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia was created by Francis West Lewis. He was inspired by the first Children's Hospital in the world which is located in France. He came back with ambition to do the same for America. Dr. Lewis was impressed that children treated in an environment specifically designed for children's medical care seemed to get better faster. He wanted to give Philadelphia children the same opportunity. And we're very glad he did!
C.H.O.P. was built in 1855 on Blight Streets. Until 1866, it relocates for the second time to 22nd streets between locust and walnut. Today its location is set on 34th street and Civic Center Boulevard.
Dr. Francis West Lewis worked with Hewson Bache (MD) and Penrose (MD) to build his project for the children of our nation.
Refined Thesis Statement!
Newborn babies, premature and unhealthy, faced poor quality in the path of health and professional care . The N.I.C.U. at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, the first hospital specific for children in the nation, became a innovative beacon of unfortunate newborns during World War two. In satisfaction, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at C.H.O.P. has offered newborn babies throughout the region, medical excellence, and provided convenient access to primary health and wellness services.
