Our son J was in the NICU for 105 days. Nurse Amy was with J from the very beginning. She was so helpful in helping us learn navigate life in the NICU. She always took the time to explain to us what was going on with J. She would even play him his own lullaby music to help soothe him when he was fussy. Amy did such an amazing job taking care of baby J and we are so thankful we had her as a nurse.

During our long stay, we had many wonderful nurses, but Jennifer stood out to us. You could tell how much she cares for our sweet boy and was there for us through his surgeries. She cried cheers of joy with us when he made it through his second surgery. She always went over and beyond to explain everything and keep up updated. When J’s camera broke, she quickly got it approved for J to move to a spot with a working camera which meant a lot to me because it allowed me to see J while I was at work. She made such a stressful and scary time in our life so much easier because we knew that J was in good hands with her. Any parent would be lucky to have her as their baby's nurse!
