I am here in the Children's Hospital with two of my sons. They are in different units, so I am torn leaving each one to be with the other. Jordan is my three month old's nurse in the PEDS/ICU. It breaks my heart not being able to be with my son.
When Jordan is here, I know he is being treated with the most love and gentleness I've ever seenina nurse. Jordan is so responsive and attentive to his needs. My son is sedated and Jordan moves him around to make him comfortable. He swaddles him and always makes sure he is warm. He has so much passion for what he does. I see him in the rooms with the other babies taking such good care of them.
Any nurse should strive to treat people with the care and compassion Jordon has. I am so grateful that he is here making this difficult time for us as easy as possible, and for knowing my baby is in good hands while I can't hold him.
Thank you for taking such good care of my Sumo-Superman! Without you, my heart would be filled with sadness and worry. You have eased those feelings and give my heart reason to melt.

Jordan consistently went over the top for my three-month-old nephew. He was so patient, kind and gentle with him. Jordan always made sure my nephew was comfortable and cozy. He even propped his feet up with stuffed animals. He is the best!
