NICU Nurse Appriciation Day/Liam turns 2 months

Today is NICU Nurse Appriciation Day and I would like to thank the Nurses at UCSF for playing such a major part in saving my sons life. There are two Nurse's in particular that I would like to thank, Liam's primaries Sue and Cindy. Because of the special bond these two developed with little Liam they were able to know his needs without a second guess. These two nurses were special to my son. They were the only two that he would mess with. I find myself saying things to him that his primaries would say to him such as "There's no crying in baseball" and "oh life's not that bad". Thanks to these very special nurses we were able to bring Liam home, we're able to see him smile and make noises. Because of them we're able to be a family. They will always hold a special place in my heart and they will always be part of our extended family. Nurses are the ones that take care of the day to day care. They are the ones that administer meds and make sure the babies are comfortable and not in pain. They make sure the babies are fed and changed and that they get what they need. They are also the ones that lend a voice to these babies. On many occasions Sue and Cindy lent their voices to Liam and because of them things were taken care of. Because of them Liam was a person and not a case file. Thank you UCSF NICU Nurses for everything you do. You work hard day in and day out and even though it seems your work goes unappriciated it's not. Because of all your great work my son is a CDH survivor and is now 3 months old. Thank you.
