Sometimes, over the AngelEye monitor, we’d see a note next to T that said, “Nurse Meg is with me until 7 am.”
A few days after delivering our 27-week-old son, who weighed just 2 pounds, we walked into our NICU suite to find polaroids, tiny footprints, and a sweet note left by Megan Brewer. It was the first moment that truly brought a smile to our faces after the trauma we had endured. From that day on, Megan consistently went the extra mile for our family. When I returned to work just a week later, she would call to reassure us that T was doing great, reminding us to rest and not to worry. She understood how difficult it was for us to be away. Sometimes, over the AngelEye monitor, we’d see a note next to T that said, “Nurse Meg is with me until 7 am.” Those words gave us peace—we knew he was safe and deeply cared for. Megan is an extraordinary nurse. Through both milestones and setbacks, she always gave T the very best care. Though she was his primary night nurse and we didn’t always see her in action, we could tell by the details: the way he was gently bundled, how his NG tube was placed, and the thoughtful notes from her shifts. It was clear that no shortcuts were ever taken. Her compassion also shines through her creativity. Megan’s NICU crafts became treasures in our room. Every visitor commented on the beautiful artwork she created with T—gifts of joy and light during some of our hardest days. These keepsakes are now priceless memories we will always cherish. We are forever grateful that Megan cared for our sweet boy. Any child blessed to have Megan as their nurse—and any team fortunate enough to work alongside her—will be cared for with unmatched skill, love, and dedication.
