When Kaitlin was taking care of my little guy, I always knew that he was paid attention to and loved like would have loved on him if I was there 24/7.
I was a first-time mom scared to death to have my baby completely ripped from my body and taken directly to the NICU to be placed on a cooling blanket for potential seizure activity. I did not get to meet Kaitlin until the second night my little one was on the cooling blanket, but I knew as soon as I met her she was going to be an amazing nurse to care for my little guy. Five days after giving birth, I was going back to surgery to have my gallbladder out and Kaitlin was R's nurse on and off throughout his whole stay in the NICU. Every time I would call her in the middle of the night she would be so reassuring, and I could tell that R was well taken care of. I would then come down to the NICU the next morning to find a "Get Well Soon" card made from R or a little reindeer made from his footprint. These were little things I thought I was going to miss out on making with my first-born child around Christmas time because he was in the NICU. When Kaitlin was taking care of my little guy, I always knew that he was paid attention to and loved like would have loved on him if I was there 24/7. I will truly never forget the way Kaitlin treated my little guy while I was not there to take care of him myself and for that, I want to thank her from one nurse to another.
