Such great nurses...

I would like to say thanks to all of our amazing nurses - and we have had a few :-)
but two have really stood out as being not only amazing at their jobs, but really being there for Bianca, Eva, Baby B and Me. Karly and Stephanie have been those angels that you read about, doing above and beyond to make sure we were ok!

So when we came in last Tuesday (wow so much has happened in under two weeks) - you may have heard I was not the biggest fan of our receiving doctor; well it was Karly that took the time to reassure me. It was her example that lead me to apologize to the poor doctor after I had pretty much bit her head off.

When Bianca started going into full on labor on the second day and I saw the cord, it was Stephanie and Karly that put us at ease and helped us through the most difficult part of knowing our baby was not going to make it.

When the pain was so much and the mercury was heating Bianca's body up so much, it was Stephanie and Karly who worked fast to cover her in ice packs.

When we got moved from our first room to an even smaller room, it was Karly who got us a new bed and Stephanie that wheeled in a fridge just for Bianca.

When Bianca's back hurt it was these two wonderful angels who got her a new mattress pad and new pillows.

Karly came by with new magazines for Bianca and Stephanie spent time with us to tell us all about her miracle baby and their journey in the NICU...and the list goes on and on

Today they even celebrated with us on 24 weeks! with fresh baked cookies!!! How awesome is that :-)

Please know that all of our nurses have been amazing - but these two have just done more than anyone could ever ask for...oh and did I mention they are not even her nurses any more. They have done almost all of this since we have been in their care. My father in law said it best during the service for Eva; so many times we expect angels to be persons beyond the veil of this world, but often they are right here all around us.

Thank you Karly and Stephanie!!!

  1. JR and Bianca,
    We have been following your blog for a week to keep track of you guys. You are all in our prayers and we have faith that you will be taken care of and that sweet 'Baby B' will be a beautiful addition to your special family.
    I also wanted to reccomend the Bump Nest Body Pillow and Relief System for Bianca ( http://www.bumpnest.com/). I am using the Body Pillow and it has been amazing. I can now sleep. My good friend swears that she was able to rest from acid reflux thanks to the Relief System. Also, some good shows you guys should watch to kill some time are Downton Abbey, Sherlock (both on Netflix)...Let us know if we can do anything for you besides keep you in our prayers and fasts. We love you!

    Kris, Chip and fam.
