Some Pretty Special People Work in The Newborn Intensive Care Unit

Take for example Gary, one of the NPs. His son was born premature 24 years ago. From his experience in the hospital and taking care of his son, he decided to become a nurse. So he went back to school and has now been caring for other little people for decades. Not only is he good with little people, but he is great with "big people" too. He says he understands that it can be overwhelming, and to never be afraid to ask questions, even if it's a question you've asked before. He feels it is part of his job to help the parents as well. Really nice guy. The bedside nurses (with just the one exception) have been fantastic as well.

It is so very hard to leave Isaac each night, but at least I know there are good people watching over him.
