Yup...I was trying to devise and implement additional safety procedures to insure that Embry does not leave the hospital with another individual.
One idea that I liked was the permanent marker method. The permanent marker idea came about from the thought that I could mark the bottom of Embry's foot with a pattern of dots that only Michelle and I would recognize. This would assure me that the nurse did not bring back a different baby if they needed to take Embry away from our supervision.
The cool thing about UCDavis though that has put me at ease...they're the ONLY hospital in the area that can boast of "No Stolen Babies". Every other hospital in the area has actually lost a baby. UCDavis incorporates a security system where if the baby starts to even get close to the sensors, a hospital wide alarm sounds and every person on duty goes to every exit. At this point, no one leaves the hospital.
Although, when we do have Embry home, don't be surprised if Embry's foot is still marked up with some sort of ink.
