Wires, tubes and more
All the tubes and lights look a bit confusing so here's what it all is:
Spotlight: Like a tanning bed for their jaundice - getting in their vitamin K!
Incubator: Until they can maintain their own body temp, they get little warm condos to live in
Nose: CPAP apparatus for forcing air (not oxygen) into the lungs, just to help them remember to breathe
Eyes: "sunglasses" for the bright lights
Mouth: Too young to drink so there's a feeding tube
Chest: monitor contacts for heart rate, breathing rate and temperature
Hand: getting IVs for extra nutrition, meds, etc.
Foot: pulse oxometer to measure oxygen levels
We're gonna shake each thing off one at a time!
