“Many times, you are fighting against the odds. You play the leading role in the effort to save newborn lives. Though your story may not be broadcast to millions across the world, it is still being told. It is told through the smile of a mother you’ve just comforted or the warmth of a baby you’ve nursed back to health. We hear your story, and we hope many others will hear your story too. Thank you for all the work you do for newborn babies every day." (http://www.healthynewbornnetwork.org/blog/neonatal-nurses-high-value-given-low-priority?page=3)
Veronica was discharged from the NICU exactly one month ago and I have thought about her nurses every day since then. I know I have said this before, but we will never forget all they did for Veronica (and for us) and we will always be grateful.
So on this day, I would like to publicly thank the wonderful GW NICU nurses who cared for Veronica during her 119 days. Thanks to Beverly, Leslie, Whitney, Reggie, Lavona, Keyona, Didi, Mia, Teresa, Katie, Alana, Eileen, Maria, Chara, Vivian, Sarah, Vlodka, Sophia, Mary Jane, Renee, Carmelita, Misha, Leslie (the other one!), Julie, Nance, Lisa, Anabell, Anjanie, Kristen, Ramone, Jennifer and the charge nurses, Cynthia and Ruth. Thank you!!
Looks like a sweet group of nurses! I'm sure you feel the same way about yours as we do about ours - we are just SO grateful. More grateful than we can ever say. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, sooooooo grateful. And I actually miss seeing them all. I don't miss the NICU, just seeing the nurses :). I can't wait to tell Veronica all about them when she is old enough.
