In the NICU I quicly met Cathy, our first nurse. She was assigned to 'baby girl' for the day. That is what they were calling her because Robin and I had not yet decided on a name. Cathy was intense and nice, and kept me informed her entire shift. 'Baby Girl Race' had a very tough day one, but Cathy never left her side, except to literally jog to the restroom if needed. She refused lunch when the other nurses offered to take over. This was the start of the amazing care the NICU has provided for us and our daughter.
She spent the entire shift getting her hooked up to the right machines, making sure they were working properly and adjusting as needed based on the baby's reactions. There was no movement from our baby the entire day other than breathing and slight eye flutters.
