“What a beautiful baby! I couldn’t imagine losing a little one that I had held for three months.”
My wife is a neo-natal respritory therapist who deals with patients like this. Each one is an emotional roller coaster for the parents and the health care worker. She has 20-years experience and still comes home from time to time crying over a baby that doesn’t make it, or over parents who reject their “special needs” baby (it happens).
Right now she has a pair of premie twins (boy and girl)who are probably not going to make it. So sad.
God bless your wife. What she has is not a job but a calling!
I heart RPTs. : )
We love NICU nurses!
