Both our daughters were NICU alums (4 days and 18 days) and each year in gratitude for the Labor and Delivery Nurses, the NICU and our OB/GYN group, we deliver baskets and treats to Virginia Hospital Center and Erin’s doctor.
Anyone who has been through a similar experience knows the care and caring pre-delivery, during delivery, and post-delivery can be quite remarkable. You can have both good and bad care in the same practice. We had a challenging experience for Erin after Elia that was immediately followed by an amazing one (thank you Emma).
This year we did not meet anyone who remembered us, some were off-shift, and others had moved, but just the same we felt the gratitude toward the hospital and the staff and felt a strong sense of nostalgia walking the halls. We took this week’s family picture in the halls of VCU as a selfie in the security mirror.
