ST. GEORGE — After Morgan Rowley's baby was born about 11 weeks premature, she and her family faced one of the tougher challenges those whose children are born prematurely face: walking out of the hospital without their baby.
But a new addition to the neonatal intensive care unit at St. George Regional Hospital means Rowley and other families can still see their babies after they go home. The hospital has added a camera system that allows parents and families to see their children in the NICU whenever they want.
"We logged on the first morning and got to see her which gave us great peace of mind," Rowley said in a statement provided by the hospital and Intermountain Health. "I've had some mother's guilt for not being with her at all times, so it's great to see her."
The AngelEye camera system is small and unintrusive, sitting above the baby's incubator or enclosure. It has night vision and sends a continuous livestream to an app the family can download to watch on any electronic device.
