We saw firsthand how much she genuinely cared about their well-being, giving us an incredible sense of peace during a time filled with uncertainty and anxiety.
From the moment our girls arrived in the NICU, we knew they were in good hands, but what really stood out was how Vina Zidel went above and beyond in so many ways. She treated our daughters like her own, showing them medical expertise and immense kindness, compassion, and patience. We saw firsthand how much she genuinely cared about their well-being, giving us an incredible sense of peace during a time filled with uncertainty and anxiety.
She answered our endless questions, comforted us when we were worried, and cheered us on as we reached big and small milestones. She never made us feel like we were asking too much or that we were imposing on her time. She was always thoughtful, ensuring we understood each aspect of their care and, most importantly, ensuring we felt included in the process. That level of attentiveness and kindness didn’t go unnoticed.
The bond she created with our girls was clear—they trusted her, and we did, too. Whether it was holding their tiny hands, gently soothing them during their most vulnerable moments, or advocating for them when needed, she always made them feel loved and safe. She truly gave them the best start in life.
Thank you for being such a light in our journey. You made an impossible situation so much easier to bear. We will forever be grateful for the time, energy, and care you devoted to our daughters and family. You will always hold a special place in our hearts for the way you touched our lives and helped our little ones thrive.
