Dr. Roxanne Arcinue was talking with happy mother Johanna Farias as she held her tiny four-month old son Ricky at Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in Tarzana, on Thursday Jan. 11.
Born at 3 pounds, 3.2 ounces Ricky spent his first four months in the medical center’s neonatal intensive care unit and was the first baby moved to the hospital’s new 21-bed NICU.
All of the babies in the NICU were moved one-by-one to the new facility in the Friese Family Tower which replaced the hospital’s 50-year-old patient building.

“Moving such fragile patients is a carefully orchestrated process to ensure monitors and other equipment remain intact to protect the baby,” the hospital said in a statement. “Now this tiny traveler is almost ready to go home.”
Ricky’s mom has “been there nearly every day, dreaming of the day the family’s together at home,” the hospital added.
