I would like to give a huge hug and shout out to the entire OB Floor at Met Hospital. Having taken care of my daughter over the last nine months for a challenging pregnancy, post care. Your patience and compassion give me faith in a world dotted by hate and judgement.
Extra Hugs n Luv to the N.I.C.U for your talents as health providers. In a time of fear your hugs not only for the babies, but fathers, mothers and siblings far exceeds your job mandate. I wish all parents to know if your child starts their life in that unit please know they will 99.9% go home with you. Yes, it's scary, heartbreaking and you always fear the worse. However these women and men hold your baby's when your not their. They sing to them, talk to them and give them outstanding care. They also treat the family like parents. I sat for 9 days with our "Prim", I was downtrotten when I started but full of a heartfelt love for all of our nurses. Oh I'm sure listening to me babble when I needed, or wipe my tears when I just couldn't keep them back wasn't part of their job. Nor were the tears that ran down their face at my sadness. So when we are asked to support new facilities, wage increases or anything they need, please know one day by luck or loss you will need a woman like Pat, if not for her skill but ability to make a 14 year old sibling with a sick sister and ill mother feel like she was the special twinkle that made her little sister grin! (We know it was just gas shhhh! )
Thank you so much for my solice.
