We learned early on that our nurses in the NICU are not there for a job or career, for most it is a calling. A calling to nurture, to heal and to support these families that are going through one of the hardest times in their life. Aside from our faith the staff at Centennial has come to be our rock. Our primary nurses who voluntarily signed up to care for Bella on good days and bad, not knowing what the outcome of our situation may be any more than we do but standing beside us each step of the way. The other nurses that stop by to check on her even when they don't have her as a patient. They have become our NICU family, our mentors, our friends and the most trusted baby sitters a person can find. We also learned early on that if you want to walk out of there each day and leave your child behind you must trust those providing her care, we are so blessed to say that we have found that. We can lay our heads on our pillows at night and sleep knowing that no matter what, Bella is getting the best care that is out there. So today I say thank you to each one of you that loves Bella as your own, that works 12 hour days, that lifts me when I am down, that gives us the honest truth no matter how good or how bad and that is using your God given gifts to better the lives of so many. Thank you from the bottom of our heart. Each of you have made me look at my career and ask am I fulfilling my calling. You have changed us and no matter what our future holds each of you will always hold a special place in our heart and memories. Happy Neo-Natal Nurses Day to each of you!
Bella is celebrating this day on the high flow nasal cannula and loving it. The Dr says lets ride the wave and see where it takes us so while she is on the upswing it is worth a shot. Again we don't know what the story will be when she starts to rebound from the steroids but we sure are enjoying what today brings. She is on 70% oxygen now and again if she can stay calm she does well. It is a good day surrounded by good people!
Much love to you all
