“The Olympics are a momentous and celebratory event, and since they happen only every four years, we thought it would be a special and fun treat to dress the babies up in an Olympic theme,” said Kerry Thompson, NICU nurse at Saint Francis who helped choose the costumes and took the photos.

“Our staff tries to think outside the box and dress the babies up for non-traditional holidays and events such as Elvis Week and Mardi Gras while still sticking to the traditional holidays like Christmas and Halloween,” Thompson said. (Kerry Thompson/Courtesy Saint Francis Healthcare)
