I've been trying to gather my thoughts together and write a great blog post about our experience in the NICU at Fairview Hospital. I've really been struggling to do so. The nursing staff there has been nothing short of phenomenal. They are such a great group of kind and caring women (and I understand a few men are there too). From day one we were treated with the utmost respect and the nurses would go out of their way to make us comfortable. You could tell they genuinely cared and weren't just "workers" there getting the job done. Dare I say, it... but the experience that we feared so much, for the most part was rather enjoyable.
Since I have been struggling so much to put my thoughts to words, I have been lucky enough to stumble across this blog post by Jodi Dolezel that does a pretty good job for me. What's great about this write up is that it not only paints a picture of what the NICU experience is like for a parent (in much better words than I could ever say), but it also paints a picture of how incredible the nurses in the NICU ward are. This post could have been written just as easily by any one of the nurses we had and I have no doubt that every one of them sees themselves in Jodi's shoes.
