Guest guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I agree that every profession has good and bad, and after the intial "bad" nurses, we were blessed w/ some very kind ones. When my husband asked 1 of our favorites toexplain why they believed our son Zack had ds (he was 1 day old and 4.9#) she took him and my husband aside and very gently and kindly showed him all the characteristics he had, she them explained he was 1 day old and his future was not yet determined just like his brother and sister. She tried to ease his fears and told him to love him like any other baby and find support and he would be fine. Much different than the cold sterile way the first nurse tried to tell us. Thank goodness for nurses like her and YOU. Irene * Introduction>>>> Hello to everyone.
