A visit to Children's Hospital


We decided to take Greer to Children's Hospital during the holidays to visit our favorite nurse, Jenny Ross!  She was the precious person who admitted Greer and took care of not only him but Jeremy as well when I was still in the hospital at S.V.  Jenny was like a mama hen to us all!  She was beyond patient with my husband who asked over a million questions daily!  She showed him and told him everything he wanted (and didn't want to know).  She took time with all of us and always made sure we were okay!   She even advised us to go home and take a break from "it all" at one point.  If Jenny said it, then it was true!  We learned quickly to trust her and believe her.  We also learned that the doctors had the same respect for her as well!  I cried and cried when we left the NICU to go room in with Greer, partially because I was thrilled about his progress, but also because I was so sad to leave Jenny.  I got so used to the great care she provided our whole family!  Below are some pictures of one of the best nurses I know!  We love her and will always hold a special place for her in our hearts!   She loved seeing Greer!  I am so glad we were able to go when she was at work.  I had called up at the NICU several times, only to learn that it was Jenny's off week!  Needless to say, I think she was a bit surprised when she came walking off the elevator and we were waiting outside the NICU for her!


Checking out Ms. Jenny!  


Of course we had to check out the Christmas trees on the way out!  Greer loved them!

BrAyDen!!!!  One of Greer's NICU buddies!  I have been regretting not getting Brayden's mom's name ever since we were discharged.  She was always so sweet to check on us and had a smile that could light up a room!  Brayden just had surgery around Christmas time, but seems to be doing well!  So glad to see this sweet family!
