LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The University of Louisville Hospital’s NICU looked more like a mini zoo Tuesday morning as the newborns celebrated their first Halloween.
Lions, monkeys, peacocks and more took over the unit, thanks to the hospital staff who make the annual tradition possible.
A hospital stay didn’t keep the infants from enjoying a Halloween celebration.
