Sue Jameson, 84, from Chillicothe, Missouri, was meticulous in balancing the family finances. One day in 2020, her husband, Douglas, noticed she hadn’t made any entries for several months.

He then started to notice Sue’s recurring memory issues, which came with a scary moment when she fell asleep while driving. She drove off the road but regained consciousness before safely driving back home. While relieved, her family had growing concerns. 

Halloween came early to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Saint Luke's Hospital of Kansas City with handmade costumes for the little ones.

Parents got to pick out a special costume for their baby to celebrate this milestone, and a photographer snapped photos of them dressed as ketchup, mustard, relish, Mario and Princess Peach, a bumble bee, and more. The crocheted costumes were handmade by Saint Luke's Information Associate in the NICU, Easton Thomas.
