The Calm in Our Storm

I delivered my baby boy in January and wasn't sure what to expect seeing as he was my first baby.

The labor and delivery nurse we had was wonderful. Her name was Kyndra and went above and beyond what I expected. I had a natural delivery and spent most of my time in a water pool. She was amazing at calming me down and regulating my breathing. She walked me through everything I needed to do to secure a safe delivery.

We did have a few complication and my baby spent four days in the NICU. He had a small infection due to a bowel movement during delivery. The recovery nurse who caught it, Debbi, was so great with our son. He was actually two days old when she noticed his breathing wasn't normal.

It was the worst feeling, having a sick baby; but the NICU team of nurses who cared for our baby were phenomenal. Cathy and her team of nurses had a way of calming us and assuring us that everything was going to be ok.

I thank God everyday that He placed us where we were. I know He led us to that hospital and provided the care that He did to make sure our baby would be ok. Zeb is almost 6 months old now and perfectly healthy. I don't know that another hospital would have even caught the infection. So, thank you, MoBap for being such an outstanding hospital and really caring for your patients.
