We are indebted to Bobi Jo and the excellent care she provided.
Our daughters were born prematurely at 23 and 5/7 weeks. Our daughter K passed away a few days after birth and our daughter J was in the Children's St. Paul NICU last year for 119 days after being born weighing a little over a pound. We had excellent care at the NICU. However, one nurse that stood out was Bobi Jo.
Due to work commitments I had to arrive to the NICU by 5 am and leave by 6 am every day during the work week. Bobi Jo was always ready for my early arrival and did seemingly small things like find the best chair for me to nurse in, getting water for me, getting the best phlebotomist to draw my daughter's am labs, etc. She was also a listening ear at a very chaotic time in my family's life.
In addition, she provided excellent care to my daughter and always seemed to know when my daughter's clinical course seemed to be changing or if J had unusual symptoms. I will never forget the care that she provided my daughter as well as the care she provided my family in general. J was discharged and is now a 20lbs happy 13-month-old who is thriving. We are indebted to Bobi Jo and the excellent care she provided.
