Tracy, R.N. moved Luke from his isolette to the open bassinet and gave him his first bottle feeding.

Tessa, R.N.

I will never forget Sara, R.N. coming over to comfort me the morning we received Luke's diagnosis of meningitis as I lay my head on Luke's isolette and wept. Sara also helped with the first day of Kangaroo Care.

Mary, R.N. was with us during those first couple of days which were very dark and filled with so many questions. She was always calm, confident, comforting and patient with all our worries.

Sweet, Sweet Laurie, R.N. always seemed to be thinking of ways to make Luke's little world more comfortable. On night 2 or 3 when I was up at 2 a.m. pumping I called the unit and was so comforted to hear Laurie say, "I found a warm blanket really soothes him". Laurie set Luke up in a special sling when he was sliding out of the sheepskin in his isolette and she set up the opportunity for Addy to meet Luke for the first time. The night before Luke's surgery Laurie took special care to stay a little later to make sure his pre-op and transfer went smoothly. Laurie is truly an angel!
