A Little Love for the Nurses

I am a teacher, so I know what it feels like to work hard and be under-appreciated. But...let me just say that nurses can give teachers a run for their money.  They are hard working, smart, constantly busy, and always kind.  From the moment Rachel was admitted to Texas Children's, we have been impressed by their nursing staff.  Of course their are some we "click" with a little more than others, but they are all wonderful.  Our favorite nurse by far is Sandy.  We have been blessed enough to spend lots of time with her and she is a dream!  We learned today she will be one of our primary nurses for the duration of our visit, which means when she is on, she will be with us!  Tina has been our favorite night nurse and made the sweet name cards that you see above.  So, when you are praying for the babies, say a special prayer for Sandy, Tina, and all of our other wonderful nurses as well!


Both babies had another good day today.  Cooper tolerated his feedings better than he did last night and pretty much "behaved " today.  Kinley continued her indomethacin to hopefully treat her PDA.  She had a few As and Bs, but again, they resolved on their own without the need for stimulation.  I got to spend some time Kangaroo-ing Kinley, and will hopefully get to do the same tomorrow with Cooper.  I am happy that I don't have much else to report tonight, so for now we thank God for another good day and pray for another one tomorrow!
