Marie Johnson has been amazing. We had our baby 8 weeks early and had a 23 day stay in the NICU. Marie spoke with me about breastfeeding and let me take my time with deciding whether to pump or not when I chose to do so she checked in on me every weekday and made sure all my questions and concerns were answered no matter how small or big. When I was able to start breastfeeding, she took the time to stay with me and calm my worries about suffocating my baby, one of my biggest worries. She gave me tons of information. After being discharged from the NICU, we got readmitted. Marie was one of the first faces we saw going into the room. She had a pump rest for me and checked in on us. To this day, Marie helps answer my questions and gives me a lot of good advice. She has truly made this journey of being a preemie mom easier for me and shows a lot of love to my daughter. I’m truly grateful for her and to be able to have her help me and my child.
