This is Garrett's first nurse, Christy. She has been a nurse for 25 years. She is a pro in the NICU here at Cardinal Glennon. His day nurse for this weekend is Anna. I will have to get a pic of her also. I am normally at home when Garrett's night nurses are here. They work on shifts from 7 to 7. Garrett has his own nurse. A lot of the nurses here cover multiple babies; Garrett's nurse only covers Garrett. So he gets a lot of one on one attention when needed.
Another added BONUS of Cardinal Glennon is that they are one of the FEW NEWER PRIVATE NICU's. Each room is private. Normally NICU's are set up in large open areas with a nurses station in the middle and isolettes around the outer area of the room. So Garrett has his own room here at the hospital and his own nurse.
Ramsey also had a private room in the NICU and his own nurse, in CHOP, was great. He received great care from a whole staff of wonderful Doctors, Nurses and Aides.So glad to hear Garrett is doing so well. Hope his surgery is sooner, rather then later. Prayers for continued good stats.
