Guardian Angels

Legare turned 6 months old yesterday. The NICU seems like it was so long ago in some aspect, but then like we were there just yesterday. Legare is so lucky to have had such wonderful nurses - his guardian angels. The NICU is such a cold, sterile, frightening and overwhelming place, yet the nurses are what bring it life. And life is what the NICU is about and for. The professionalism and compassion of the NICU nurses is truly amazing. They were so supportive when times were grim and uncertain, and yet helped celebrate the many milestones from a good blood gas, feed, and weight gain as well as major milestones such as being extabated. I will always be eternally grateful to them. They helped me get through the NICU and became my friends.
