Q: Some premature babies will just need more time for their lungs to mature, while others may suffer from more serious complications. The more that you know and understand about what your baby needs, the better you will be able to ensure he is receiving the treatment and care that is best for him. Speak with neonatal nurses and technicians every time they make their rounds. Inquire about improvements or setbacks in your baby's conditions. If you do not understand something, don't be afraid to ask. Find out when the NICU head doctor will be stopping by. Generally, head doctors stop by once or twice each day to check in on their patients. Sometimes, if you have a specific question about your baby's condition or his treatments, the nursing staff may not have the answer for you. If you know when the head doctor will be making his rounds, you can make sure you are there during those times and you can ask to speak with him directly. Depending on how premature you baby was, he can be in the NICU anywhere from a few days to several months. The NICU staff will be your baby's full-time caregivers until he is discharged. Take the time to familiarize yourself with each staff member that will be caring for your baby. If you are comfortable with his caregivers, you will be more at ease knowing that he is in good hands during those times when you cannot be there.
A: Learn as much about your baby's medical condition as possible. Strive to set up a good relationship with the staff that will be attending to your baby while he is in the NICU.

Q: If you're being attacked or threatened by someone in the street, try your best to stay calm. Take a few deep breaths and speak in a low, calm voice to the person. Let them know that you don't want to fight. If you accidentally bumped into them or if they perceived something you did or said as threatening, apologize and let them know you didn't mean anything by it. Try saying something like, "Hey, everything's cool. I'm sorry I bumped into you. I wasn't trying to start a fight. I just tripped." If the person keeps acting aggressively towards you, distraction may be the best strategy to defuse the situation. Try saying something to distract them, such as by paying them a compliment or asking them for directions. You could even pretend that you're sick, such as by grasping your stomach and acting like you're about to vomit. For example, you might say something like, ""Hey, dude (girl)! I love your shirt! I can't fight someone with such great fashion sense!" or "Wait, maybe you can help me. How do I get to Willard Street?" If the person has not yet attacked you, you may be able to avoid fighting by walking away from them. However, it's best not to turn your back to them if they're still threatening you. Try walking away backwards and continue to maintain a calm, non-threatening demeanor. For example, you might back away from them and reiterate that you have no desire to fight, such as by saying, "I don't want to fight. I'm just going to leave." If the person is demanding money from you, then throwing your purse or wallet as far away as you can is a great way to distract them. They may simply go for the money and take off if you're lucky. You may also be able to avoid fighting them by running in the opposite direction after you throw your purse or wallet. If the person comes at you despite your efforts to avoid a fight, screaming "fire" in a crowded area is a good way to get the attention of bystanders, distract your opponent, and give yourself time to get away. Try screaming "FIRE" as loud as you can. If the person stops pursuing you, then this might be a good time to run away. Look for crowds, buildings, or lights and run towards them. Keep going until you are somewhere safe and then call for help, such as by dialing 911 in the US. Let them know that you were just threatened by someone in the street and that they may still be pursuing you. If you have the opportunity to escape or if you think you can outrun the person based on their build, then you might try running for it as a last ditch effort to avoid a fight.
A: Speak in a calm voice to the person who is trying to attack you. Stall the person by engaging them in conversation or playing sick. Walk away if the person continues to show signs of aggression. Throw your purse or wallet far away if they're after money. Yell "FIRE" to attract attention if the person attacks. Run towards lights, buildings, or people and call for help.

Q: . Crown molding will be especially important if you're trying to finish a basement in an older style home. This can help the two levels look more alike, if there is molding elsewhere in the home. . Baseboards and trim will go a long ways towards helping your basement to look like a real room and installing is a breeze, if you can measure and cut (which you totally can!). .
