Nurses Day

I don't know if any of you know, but tomorrow is National Nurses Day. I decided I wanted to do something for all of the nurses that helped us throughout our hospital stay with baby Will. So, tomorrow I am going to visit the nurses at Vandy's PCCU and bring them some treats and treat them to a little pampering. Mary Kay makes a product called Satin Hands that's great for anyone who uses their hands. I look forward to seeing them again.

I also want to let you know that baby Wyatt (Will's heart buddy from Michigan) is sick with RSV, a very serious respiratory infection. He will be in the hospital until he recovers, and we're not sure how long that will be. Luckily, his heart is fine and his chest x-rays look good. Pray for a speedy recovery.

I also want to inform you about the Wilbanks family in Michigan (we've never met). They are struggling right now. They have a baby boy, Griffin, who was born the last week of April. He had open heart surgery shortly after his birth, and unfortunately he had to be put on ECMO, a means of life support, right after surgery. After an attempt to remove baby Griffin from ECMO, doctors realized the only way to save him would be a heart transplant. This could take weeks or months, and he and his family have a very tough road ahead.
