New Baby at the Children's Hospital

While I was working with the babies this morning at the hospital, a new little girl came in. She was SO tiny! She also looked undernourished, underdeveloped and was very dirty. I'm guessing she is about 1 month old, maybe 2?
It's pretty difficult for such a little one to get that dirty and that thin, unless it is just neglect on the caregivers part. Granted, I do not know the whole story or the family's situation, but sometimes it's hard to not get pissed off at whoever was taking care of these little ones.
I am glad she is now at the hospital where she will be fed, bathed and get some regular hugs.
And, now that I am thinking more about it, maybe that is why her parents brought here there, because they knew they could not take care of her. Or maybe the court ordered it. Maybe her parents are devastated that she is gone.
I should not be so quick to judge them, but 'more quick' to offer grace and mercy. It's a good thing that I don't rule the world.

The first two pictures are of the new little girl.
The second two pics are of my little buddy doing his exercises and rockin' some awesome hot pink tights (they had pictures near the foot area of glasses of lemonade with straws- ha ha).
