When Nikki was explaining the foot prints she has I teared up. Such a kind and caring soul ❤️❤️

We lived at Mac with our daughter in the NICU for 343 days (from 2018-2019), we knew Nikki very well in D pod! We still have a genuine Nurse Nikki scrapbook page hanging on our daughter's wall. This video brought back a lot of memories and feelings, both good and anxious. But it was very nice to see so many familiar faces -- it is SO important to showcase the work they are doing! Thank you Violin MD for taking the time to show the world what these amazing humans can do -- staff and babies!

As someone who was born premature, it's amazing to see these kinds of procedures! I remember my mom telling me all these stories of my birth and I was able to look though my records when i got older in a patient portal, and there were SO many x-rays, check ups, etc done and a lot of them were abnormal! I was able to officially get home, no more doctor visits, around Feb the next year. I was born 3 months early at barely 2 pounds back in Sept (so I was due Dec), I will always thank the nurses and doctors at the NICU for working hard to rescue me

As someone who works in the medical ICU, the NICU is an entirely different ball game!! Those tiny humans are so fragile. I commend my colleagues who work with our smallest patients. Great video! Thanks for sharing xx

As a former NICU mom..this really touched me. Thankfully my son was there for about 2 wks; but it was a very stressful 2wks. The nurses really do make a difference. When my son's heart stopped I was in my room; I coded at the same exact time. When I was able the nurses brought me to the NICU and made a little space for me to be right next to him. I will NEVER forget the nurses. When I got sent home they called me EVERY time something happened. I will forever be grateful to them. Because of them and the doctors my son is now 13and taller than I am.

Awe! I had my son at 33 weeks. He spent almost a month in the NICU. I have severe preeclampsia and we both almost died. We are lucky to be alive. He will be 5 next month

I just learned that I was accepted into the NICU for my nursing school senior partnership. I spent some time there over the summer and was just so inspired by the stories and growth of the babies. It’s such a special place to be. Thank you for highlighting this beautiful place!❤️

i love that you sat down with the mother! that’s so incredible you let her talk about the parents perspective. this is exactly the medicine i want to go into so it’s lovely seeing it from both a parents and medical professionals point of view. thank you for your videos !

2x preemie mom here and currently pregnant with my 3rd. Hearing Paolo's comment on how others "just don't get it" struck with me. All I could here was "you are so lucky they're alive, congrats!". Yes, I AM lucky they are alive, and I will never forget that.. But it also doesn't mean we didn't face extreme struggles during our NICU stay.

I had my baby at 27 weeks, weighing 845g, due to severe pre eclampsia. This brought back so many memories- I was terrified and overwhelmed the first time I went into the NICU. Thankfully she did really well and is now 12 and totally healthy. I didn't see her until she was 24 hours old and we didn't get to hold her for 3 weeks (me) and nearly 4 weeks for my husband. I could identify so much with what Paula was saying to you. We even had so many people wanting to visit her that we had to make a rota - loads of my husband's colleagues who I'd never met, and other people who we've never seen since. It felt as if they were all just wanting to see the tiniest baby they'd ever seen. I had people telling me I was lucky not to have had to push an 8lb baby out and that we were lucky to be able to sleep for the first 3 months of her life while she was in hospital- as if we slept! I was up expressing every 3 hours and we were both so worried we didn't sleep well at all. Thank you for this video and what you and all your wonderful colleagues do.

My former 27 weeker is a graduate of the McMaster NICU and I can’t thank the doctors and nurses enough! In 15 yes some things have changed and some have not. Boy the memories come flooding back 🥲 Best wishes to sweet Kalani and her mom. My thoughts are with you. Lots of love from a mom who’s been there💕

My daughter was born at 29 weeks and was in the NICU for almost 2 months. And then one of my sons was also in the NICU for about 3 weeks. I spent a lot of time there and the nurses are incredible. The NICU definitely holds a special place in my heart ❤️

My son was born very premature, only 1.1lbs, & watching this video had me in tears from start to end. When the momma said “nobody understands” ..girl-an understatement. One minute amazing news, the next scary news. My son passed away at 9 days old but his nurses still keep in touch with my husband & I, & it means so much. tiny baby nurses are a true blessing. & I could never thank them enough for taking care of my son & our family.

I was in hospital for 4 weeks prior to my baby being born at 34 weeks. Shes still in the nicu, recovering from a sepsis infection and breathing issues. The nicu is such a rollercoster of emotions but our care team is so incredibly comforting and I feel good knowing shes getting amazing care.

I applaud NICU nurses, doctors and the whole team. Handling and caring for these tiny humans must be so challenging!

Even with all my ER experience, sick babies still get my heart pumping. Recently had an intubated toddler that I feel I would continuously double and triple check everything; and that was a toddler, not a premie. Kudos to NICU staff, I couldn't do it.

My aunt is a NICU nurse. I applaud her for everything she does. It really takes a super special person to work in a NICU and I applaud every NICU nurse out there!

Thank you for giving the mother the time and space to talk about her experience. As a future aspiring neonatologist, this was very valuable to hear

This made me cry because Kalani’s mom was so strong and loving 😭 I’m a nursing student and am looking forward to NICU rotations

Hey Siobhan. I just wanted to tell you that you are one of the biggest inspirations that keeps me motivated in med school. I‘ve been watching you silently for over 2 years now. Fun fact: I’m writing my diploma thesis (I study in a small country in Europe in Austria) about xray progression in patients with Psoriatic Arthritis and warnt to become a Rheumatologist just like you. I just wanted to thank you for your videos. Every time I watch you I get so excited about becoming a doctor. You are such an inspiration and I hope I will become a great doctor just like you!

This brings up all sorts of memories. My first daughter was born at 29 weeks at Texas Children's in Houston. We spent 2 weeks at the Level 4 NICU there, day and night. Unfortunately, she had HLHS and there was nothing that could be done for her. So, we had to let her go. All of the nurses and doctors were the most amazing, caring people and did everything possible to support us and make us comfortable knowing our daughter was most likely never going to leave the hospital. Her little sister was born at 36 weeks, 2 months ago, and also was in the NICU for a few days, but is doing great. Like it was mentioned in the video, you can never truly "get it" unless you've been a NICU parent, but this video does a great job highlighting the amazing work these folks are doing on a daily basis caring for these tiny babies

My baby was in the NICU for just a week but that was long enough for me to have a huge appreciation and soft spot for the NICU nurses and doctors. They do amazing work caring for the tiniest little babies.

I had my late preterm angel at 34 weeks on 10/26/21 so as a NICU mama I agree that parents can’t understand what it’s like to have a NICU baby until you have one. Not having skin to skin right away, not having your baby in the room with you after, having to pump in a room by yourself and walk over milk multiple times a night, having to leave your baby in the hospital when you are discharged, then going to the hospital everyday and spending 6+ hours a day sitting bedside with your baby is rough. It was the worse/best 10 days of my life… All of our nurses were amazing and I truly believe being a NICU nurse is a calling. Our nurses became friends and I am so grateful for them ❤️

NICUs are hardcore, especially the ones caring for the youngest, most challenged babes. I did my first social work internship in one and it was took almost the whole year to get the nurses to acknowledge my presence, but I loved being able to spend time with the parents. They logged long hours and often just needed some breaks and someone with time to listen. I learned so much from the tiny humans and their rock awesome parents. Mad respect.

I applaud every nicu nurse. My twins were born at 36 wks and they were in the nicu for 10 days. The nicu nurses were so sweet and really motivational 💗

My son was 5 weeks early. He was taken to McMaster and I was in KW. It was hard. He is now 6 feet tall and a great guy in early 40’s. No problems developed.

I'm crying right now, I'm a med student and this video just confirmed me how much I want to be a neonatologist. Thank you Siobhan, for inspiring me everyday :)

Awww I am a NICU nurse, so pleased you got to go and experience it. It is truly such a wonderful place to work, the little babies are incredible and the parents are so strong. I love my job :)

My twin sister and I were born at 28 weeks. While I don't remember anything our mom told us all kinds of stories about our time in the hospital. We were placed in the same incubator as we were born at a very small hospital. We both have scars where chest tubes were inserted. We are healthy and well. I have such appreciation and respect for those that care for the tiniest patients.

I love this!!! My son was in this NICU for 4 months when he was born at 25 weeks. Recognizing the rooms and hallways and even some of the docs and nurses brought back so many memories! So grateful for these staff and to God for the miracle of my son!

As an adult ICU Nurse Practitioner, this is just so amazing. I love how you involved mom!

As a NICU mama, love watching this ❤️ NICU doctors and nurses are angels

Thanks for covering NICU! NICU nurse here! I love working with the babies & like the mother said we become more like their families as we ride the journey with them. I’ve kept in touch with some of my NICU families & get to watch them grow & get updates.

NICU team members are a special breed of human with astonishing super powers! 💯 Also: Saying “Nikki in the NICU” is just delightful.

My 1st born was in NICU for 2weeks it was so hard I developed anxiety and depression due to that experience and just like the mom said the nurses were the best support system you could have … forever grateful for the staff in the NICU ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My child was born with congenital heart disease and spent time in the NICU. The nurses there were my rock. They cared for my child so well, can't count the times when I went in the morning to find the nurse holding and rocking him. Their support made so much difference, I don't have words to say how grateful I am. So I decided to become a pediatric nurse and am starting my first semester this January. Thank you for this video!

Thank you. I was a 29 week premie, born with Cerebral Palsy, and 6 months to the day after birth, a VP shunt was placed due to hydrocephalus caused a brain hemorrhage. It was amazing to watch the care and love of families, and the NICU staff.

Love the videos, I was in a car accident in 2020 and my girlfriend at the time was pregnant and we lost our daughter, so watching this type of video really sits differently with me! Thank you and your co-workers all around the world for all you do.

Hello there, my sister had her little girl 3 weeks ago, she was born at 23+3 weeks weighing 340g due to severe preeclampsia. We live in Germany so the care for preemies is a little different, but it is very challenging especially during a pandemic. So every parent who has a baby in the NICU, I salute you and wish you all the best. Thankfully my niece is doing really well, but she still has a very long way ahead of her. Life as a NICU mom is very difficult, cause you never know one day can be great and then a bad day follows. So all the best to all the families going through something similar!

I’m in nursing school and have a strong liking to working in the ICU one day. I’ve had a feeling I’d be completely passionate about NICU work but have been scared to admit it. Babies are scary! Especially tiny, sick, vulnerable babies. But this got my heart racing. I feel like I’m supposed to be there one day!

Being a premature baby myself it is cool to see these types of videos. I was born at 26 weeks weighing 2 lbs 4 oz and hearing the stories my parents have told me about the NICU and the nurses it has really made me think of becoming a NICU nurse!

I haven't come across anyone else who has shown the various health care professionals in such an informative way. They're so valuable for those still trying to find their niche and I would have loved to have this going into nursing school

I'm a mom of a baby born at 35 weeks, by C-Section, due to PreEclampsya and although he was not born as early I can definitely understand how this mom is feeling! Our babies are pure miracles but to have to take in this terrifying experience is so scary and so anxiety inducing. I 100% agree that NICU nurses are a different type of breed! The thing that made my experience easiest was the nurses at my hospitals NICU. This video opened my eyes so much more to what mothers that go into labor so early have to go through.

When I was born, I was at risk of dying when those wonderful doctors and nurses in the NICU took good care of me. I will forever be grateful of those in the medical field who took special care of me during that difficult time and never gave up💕

If possible, I’d love a future update video on the baby. Now I’m invested in her🥺

my daughter spent a good portion of her newborn life at that exact nicu, horribly scary time now, she’s a totally happy and healthy 7 year old ! i’m so glad you get to show so many people how truly amazing the staff there is!

I am absolutely in awe of all NICU staff! I work in labor and delivery and I assist in delivering many premature and very sick babies and I’ll never cease to be amazed in all that the NICU does to keep those kiddos growing and surviving ❤️

I was born 2 months early, 35 years ago. One of the top neonatal doctors happened to be teaching at Kingston General who saved both mine and my mother’s life. I was there for over a month so grateful that I recovered and have had 3 full term babies of my own. Hugs to all NICU babies, parents and staff!

I love this! i was a fellow preemie born at 24 weeks 1lb07oz. its amazing to see the care and also to see them thrive. truly miracles when even medicine may initially have doubt - my mom was told I wouldn't survive. Currently in Nursing school and definitely a specialty I am considering. ❤

My niece was born at 23 weeks. I thought I understood what she and her mother went through but until you showed all the different steps of care I didn't know. Thanks for sharing 🧡

I was born Premature at 6 months and and these procedures are really informative as when my mom told me how i went through things like this when i was born and we actually have a picture of me as a newborn inside an incubator holding my brothers hand and to remember how tiny i was i was born at 620 grams and always when i go to my doctor and when i get to see a new doctor they always mention how much i have grown since(: and i also wish luck to all premie babies and their parents

Nothing is more scary for a parent. With my first child, at 24 weeks there was a chronic abruption, partial placenta previa, and he was frank breech. Thankfully after many sleepless nights and months of testing my son was able to be carried full term and was delivered by c-section happy and healthy, albeit a little blue due to the reverse amniocentesis.

Props to the workers in the NICU! It's a whole new world, I couldn't even imagine working with such small humans.

It hit me hard when she showed the footprints of the first baby that she lost. To see them and know that they belonged to a precious little angel that left their parents too soon. I hope that those parents have been able to move forward, because you can't ever move on.

As a fellow NICU mama this video makes my heart smile. These little babies are such warriors ❤️ He was born at 36 weeks 3 days and was intubated for a month, on CPAP for a week or so, on HI flow for a couple weeks and now is home after a 11 week NICU stay

I was born a few weeks premature, so it’s really cool to see what it might’ve looked like while I was in the hospital. Thanks for this, and may God bless you and all healthcare workers for all you do :)

Thank you for showing this! My baby girl was born at 22+3 and we still in nicu day 135 days

My baby was born 2 weeks ago and she had to go into the nicu for 48 hours. We had a rough delivery and her heart rate went from 140 to 60 in seconds. Seeing all of those doctors rush into the room to bring her heart rate back up was so scary. Not being able to do skin to skin with her right away and not being able to take her home right away was so hard. The nicu nurses were amazing and helped so much.

Its crazy seeing you go from 1st yr med student to a 5th yr med resident! I'm so proud of you and I feel honored watching this progress!! ❤❤❤

This is so cool to see other people, parents who also had kids born really pre-maturely like myself who was born at 24 weeks and 6 days in Ottawa Canada. This past year I got see my medical records and look through them myself for the first time even with hearing all the stories through the years. Is there anyone whose a fan of Siobhan’s channel who also have tales of dealing with having a trachea for long extended period of time? Or anyone who similarly had their vocal chords accidentally cut due to complications of being born between 22-25 weeks?

As someone who was born prematurely, it’s amazing that you made this video. I was supposed to be born it March but instead I was born in January. I was 1 month and 1 week early. My mom and dad have been telling me stories about everything my mom actually got bit by a spider before I was born! It’s amazing that my mom has had 3 kids 2 were born early and 1 born late!

My mother was a NiCU level 3 nurse for twenty plus years and on the flight team she loved her job taking care of the sick babies and making sure they got the best attention they needed. Ty for you're medical services ma'am. :)

Wow, those nurses really go above and beyond. And Kalani is such a beautiful name, I am crossing my fingers and toes for her too that she grows big and strong! ❤️

I wasn't premature, but when I was born with Spina Bifida Myelomeningocele and had to be in the NICU for several weeks they put the IV in my head! I don't know if they had to change that when I was officially diagnosed with Hydrocephalus 2 weeks after birth and had to get my first shunt in my brain. It's interesting to see how NICUs work in Canada as opposed to the USA!

Awww man when the parent spoke about her baby and how no one gets it I just balled my eyes out 💔 what a strong amazing mum she is

Ahhhh! I’m a NICU nurse and got soo excited when I saw the title of this video! Thanks for sharing 💗

I was born at 30 weeks. My mom was 40 years old, had to have an emergency c-section and had to be put under general anesthesia due to other complications. Neither of my parents were able to even see me for two weeks after I was born because the hospital I was born at only had a Level II NICU and my care required Level IV. My lungs weren’t developed, they weren’t able to give my mom any steroids before delivery, I had one lung collapse, required multiple blood transfusions, and have UV light therapy for jaundice. My parents were able to bring me home after I stayed in the NICU for about 9 weeks. And even then a nurse still had to do home visits daily for another 2 weeks afterwards to make sure I was gaining weight. Thank you for showing how much dedication these NICU healthcare providers have for their patients. ❤️

i’m studying for my med entrance exams rn, and your videos are the perfect break, learning but fun, thank you so much!

Thank you, Siobhan, for highlighting the NICU. My daughter was in the NICU for almost a week (obviously very different than those who spend months there, but still a scary start to life as a Mom), and I can hands-down agree with Paola that the nurses were what kept my spirits up. I was able to stay on the couch in her room and get up to help with her cares, and one night my precious little baby projectile pooped all over her bed. The nurse was amazing - we just looked at each other and burst out laughing - it was just what my spirit needed. It's still one of my best memories from those days.

My twin nieces were born at 28 wks and we're in NICU for three months. It takes such special people to work in the NICU. Without all of the different types of doctors, nurses, respiratory and so many others my nieces wouldn't be here today and doing so well in college at 19yrs old. Thank you for sharing your time in NICU.

I love how everyone comes together to work as a team to provide care for patients. Its incredible also seeing how everyone knows exactly what they need to be doing and kept so calm!

I am so grateful for our NICU nurses. They actually started a tradition for our baby that still carries in today. Our NICU nurses made a Christmas ornament with her feet print. That started us buying an ornament to memorialize every year of her birth. She is almost 18 now and this years ornament is her senior tassel. I’m forever grateful for the care given to our baby girl. I will never minimize the struggles early in but we are where we are today because of her early intervention in the NICU.

Those carers, how skilled they are, I would have been terrified even though I've worked in adult ICUs. All the tiny drug doses to work out, plus their extreme fragility, just a different ball game.

I wish we could see an update on how Kalani is doing now!

My wife had to have a C section on July 6th of this year. It was pretty scary for both of us, scary for my wife because she had to have major surgery and scary for me being in there holding my wife's hand while they were performing the C section, and then being happy that I was finally meeting my son, but also worried about my wife at the same time. After they stabilized him I left the OR and went to be with him, I think I annoyed some of the nurses, because for 45 minutes, I kept asking if my wife was doing okay. Our son is almost 5 months old and he smiles with his mouth wide open at literally everyone and everything, especially ceiling fans, because he finds ceiling fans entertaining for some reason.

Thanks from all the Mac Nicu graduate families. I know you are making several us tear up right now!

I loved this video. Especially being able to actually see the patient and follow them along. So beautiful and praying for health and strength to little kalani!

Loved seeing this. I was 9 weeks premature born 2 pounds 12 Oz and went down to 2 pounds 3 Oz in the hospital. I was in the NICU two months and got to come home right before Christmas still hooked up to oxygen. The doctors told my mom that I was dead and they couldn’t find a heart beat, but here I am 30 years later with no issues. ❤️

I was born prematurely at 30 weeks. I was in the NICU for months untill I finally went home. My mom said she was terrified because she had to get an emergency C section. My parents stayed everyday with me. Eventually I made it out. 22 years later I’m a pediatric nurse. Hoping to work in NICU very soon. It’s crazy what the families go through my hearts are with them❤️

Wow thank you for sharing. In Australia we do not have nurse practitioners like they do in Canada and the US. I am seeing one for a medical check up. So it will be interesting. Nikki seemed really knowledgeable and compassionate. The care and dedication is incredible

Ahhh, why are NICU staff such angels 😭 such special people. My niece spent her first few months in the NICU recovering from a congenital diaphragmatic hernia and it's such a comfort to think about the type of people who nurtured her there ❣️❣️❣️

That evacuation stretcher with the pockets is so cool. I had never seen anything like that. Got a little teary eyed when she was showing the footprints she carries in her badge. And decorating each baby's area plus a memory box is so sweet. I'm not very artsy but I'd love to help make some decorations to put up if I were there. And thank you for also giving us a mom's perspective. I think so much sometimes before sending someone a simple message because as she said about all the congratulations messages, it didn't feel appropriate. I try to think about what I would want in such a situation but it's hard to understand when you've never been through that.

NICU parents are the strongest on the planet. It is the most painfully exhausting and horrible experience I can think of. I’d almost liken it to being in prison. You can never be alone with your baby, you have some freedom in the choices that are made, but very few. Especially with Covid going on, there are SO MANY restrictions so both parents can’t really be around at the same time in many cases. It truly is a VERY isolating thing to endure. Everyone wants to be happy for you and send gifts and clothes and it’s near impossible to feel the joy of having your baby while they’re in the hospital. My heart goes out to all the NICU parents in the world. I hope so much that you all get out with a healthy, happy baby like I got to. 💙💙💙

Paola is right on. Those congratulatory messages, while well-intentioned, are solidly gutting. It’s a very lonely experience, and PTSD is common. NICU staff are amazing. Thanks Siobhan for capturing this!

I had a baby in the NICU he was born at 31 weeks I just remember when he finally moved into the open cot and I could finally feel like a mother and then his first time getting milk from breast feeding now he’s a healthy happy 5 month old 🥰

I had twins prematurely at 30 weeks and thankfully we had a fairly smooth nicu journey. Hearing this mum talk about it felt so comforting, she is right, no one gets it but other prem mums and I’m sure there are things she is experiencing with a 23 wheeler that I will definitely not understand. It’s so hard and she seems to be doing wonderfully

I’m planning on going into neonatal nursing after high school so it was cool being able to see what it’s really like to be a nicu nurse and to see how caring everyone on the unit is!

Another super-interesting video. If it is possible --- maybe you could follow baby Kalani's medical journey a little further down the line.

This has to be my favorite video you have made. I was born 3 months early weighing 1 pound 5 ounces. I stayed in the NICU for 110 days. This upcoming January I will be 28 years old. Thank you for covering the NICU and supporting all they do.

I was born at 27 weeks, weighing 2 lbs (length-wise i went from my father's wrist to his elbow), almost 29 years ago, which was a feat to save a baby that early even back then. I stayed in the hospital for 6 months, spent 14 months under oxygen and 28 weeks being tube fed. I was also given corticosteroids to help my lungs grow considering they weren't fully developed. I was the first case of my neonatalogist/pediatrician and he followed me for the next 18 years and he has truly been the best. I still have a card that was signed by all the staff that took care of me, with a personalized message from each of them. I was told countless stories such as one of the nurse taking me when she was doing rounds in the nursery, or another one taking me out of the unit during summer days when she was taking her lunch outside when I was a little healthier. (Also shoutout to the nurse who let my mother touch my head in the incubator even the head nurse wouldn't allow it, it meant the world to my mom after weeks of not being able to do so and not even being able to see her baby after i was born.) Even though I have absolutely no memory of any of that, or the doctors and nurses that took care of me, every time I went back for an appointment, they recognized my parents and inquired about me, how I was doing and asked how my parents were doing. It's honestly incredible the work that they did (i look back at pictures of me as a baby and can't believe I'm here) and that they keep doing. Best wishes to littke Kalani and Paola.

Wow, thank you so much for sharing this with the world. These scenes touch a special place in my heart because my twin sister and I were also premature babies. We were born at 24 weeks and each weighed 800g. And it's an absolute miracle because we have only been left with vision loss, otherwise very healthy. Seeing these babies, I just want to comfort them and their families. It's so heartbreaking but magical at the same time. All of this definitely gives you a better appreciation for how special life is and how incredible our bodies are

I would like to know how mom feels now, after a year. I'm a mom of 2 NICU graduates. And I know the feeling on the moment is terrifying. But now, when my kids face a challenge, I can smile and relax and know that they can hand whatever comes. I guess it's easier to know that both my kids have faced the worst and came through. They have grit and perseverance that most adults have never dealt with, they will be okay.

6:52 YES the nurses are what helped me get through everything! I love them! I still talk to them on FB, they’ve been there for my daughter since birth.

My baby was in the NICU and my heart will always go out to all the nurses and drs there! They do so much more than just caring for the babies, those nurses help hold the parents together too. I can’t tell you how many times I would completely forget to shower or eat and one of the nurses would come in and remind me to take time for myself. Several times when I couldn’t sleep at night out of fear, I’d sit in a chair by the isolator watching tv on a teeny tiny screen and one of the nurses always stayed a little longer on her rounds to watch a bit of my show with me and laugh a bit together. The workers there genuinely help keep family members sane while caring for tiny babies in a very fragile state AND still having to care for themselves as well! (My little one was only 4.5 pounds and born with a collapsed lung. She had a procedure shortly after birth and remained on oxygen and a feeding tube while she grew and got strong enough to come home. She’s now a thriving toddler that seems to never slow down😆)

as a 34 weeker, this is awesome! I have some lasting issues but id have so many more, and even be dead if it wasn't for the amazing NICU nurses back in 2000, we appreciate them so much!

This is a nice video. Thank you for giving voice to the struggle the moms of these premature babies experience. As a NICU RN, I am honored to walk these journeys with the families I serve.

This was fun to watch! I am a senior BSN student, and I just accepted a residency in the NICU. Thanks for sharing! 💕

Thank you so much for taking the time to learn and see what other specialties are like. I'm an emergency room nurse and I am always so curious what it's like in the ICUs, especially with the babies. Also, thank you for talking to both a nurse practitioner and an MD. It's so important to educate the public that both providers are vital to the hospital. Thank you thank you!!

Thanks for another fascinating video about another area of medicine. It really is mind blowing how tiny these amazing little humans are and how wonderful medical technology and understanding is that they can still have a chance at life even being born so very early. Thankyou to Paola and Kalani too for letting you share their story. Best wishes for a happy and healthy future for them both and for all the other NICU occupants too. ♥️

I loved this! Thank you for including us! 💕 those sweet little babies, praying for them!
