Nurses!!

After spending so much time in the Beach General NICU/CHKD NICU/CHKD PICU/VCU PICU you learn a thing or two...nurses do not get enough credit!!! Nurses are the ones who care for your child all day every day.  You typically see your dr during rounds in the am and occasionally they pop in later in the day to check on things but for the most part nurses are who you deal with.  They answer your questions, reassure you, do diaper changes, sponge baths, feedings, administer meds, offer suggestions, counsel you, etc. pretty much they get to know your child just about as well as you know you child!

That being said, we just wanted to thank a few of Charlie Claire's favorite nurses at VCU...Carrie, N'Keisha and Jan! All of C's nurses were wonderful but these three ladies went above and beyond!! We really appreciated them caring for C and helping us through such a challenging time!

Here is a picture of Charlie Claire with Carrie (C Bear!) and N'Keisha!
