Our family would like to extend the utmost gratitude to the NICU staff at St. Francis, including all nurses and physicians who attended to our daughter during her stay this year. At 20 weeks pregnant, we found out our baby was not measuring at the gestational age she should have been. In the subsequent 17 weeks of pregnancy and countless ultrasounds and appointments at the Perinatal Center, we were informed our child was considered IUGR, with the assumption that the placenta was not functioning properly. We were hoping to be able to enjoy this pregnancy, which will likely be our last; however, that hope quickly faded as fear crept over and consumed our joy.
From the moment she entered the world at 3 lbs 15 oz, the NICU team cared for her in the most genuine and professional manner. As second-time parents, but first-time NICU ones, we were scared, worried, and at a loss for how to function without bringing a child home immediately after discharge. Nevertheless, the NICU nurses assured us of her status, kindly explained every aspect, and both figuratively and literally held our hands throughout her stay. They were attentive to both our needs and hers, whether it be accommodating and considerate during our overnight stay in the NICU or at every care time, each nurse treated us with immense kindness and compassion. We genuinely believe that because of each of the nurses' diligent care and love, our girl quickly made her way out of the NICU and into our home.
We could not begin to encapsulate the appreciation we have for the NICU staff at St. Francis. Walking in and out of the hospital on a daily basis, it is easy to assume that each nurse is just an ordinary person. While they may appear ordinary, we know that the servant heart each one possesses is truly extraordinary. We pray that they know that they played such an important part in her life; that they remember every day, regardless of how difficult or sad a shift may be, that it is because of them that they have saved many lives. They are the cornerstone by which our NICU warriors have built a foundation, and thus, they are the pillars of hope that guide the future of our little but mighty children. We hope each one is blessed beyond measure and pray that each one knows how vital they are in this world. It is with this sentiment that we believe the NICU staff should be recognized for their contributions to the medical profession.
