This news came into the Tribune today:
Greg Farrow, of Gilbert, created and built sile mobiles for Banner Desert Medical Center.
Greg Farrow, 16-year-old Eagle Scout from Gilbert, donated 200 coloring books (English and Spanish), 30 mirrors and 30 silent mobiles to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Banner Children’s Hospital at Banner Desert Medical Center.
With help from his father, Ken, an engineer, Greg developed free standing silent mobiles for that would fit on both types of cribs and the bassinets used by the NICU.
The mobiles are made of a simple plastic holder with metal curved rod and soft, light hanging objects in bright colors.
“This project will make a lot of parents happy as it allows them to personalize their child’s crib and gives their babies something to focus on as they are getting stronger,” said Cheryl Alexander, clinical manager for the developmental program in NICU. “We are so excited to start giving these to our families.”
Alexander said it is important that the mobiles are silent, as NICU babies should not have loud noises and it is important that the mobiles are simple for the nurses and family members to install and clean.
