There was a bad thunder storm the day Bun Bun came home from the hospital. Thunder storms have increased in frequency and severity recently, most likely an effect of global climate change. This summer, we've gotten most of our rain water from thunder storms. We live in an area with lots of very tall trees and power lines, not so good mixed with heavy down pours and gusty winds. So, soon after we got our daughter settled at home, the power went out! If the power went out today, we would have just winged it. That day, being on our own for the first time, without the help of NICU nurses, we started to panic very quickly. The last time power went out after a thunder storm, it didn't come back on for 4 days! No more time to lose, we packed up our preemie, grabbed the essentials, and literally over the river and through the woods, we all spent the night at Grandma's house. In lieu of a crib, Baby Bunny slept in a cardboard box lined with a heavy wool blanket. She was a trooper!
