Brookwood's NICU reunion

Brookwood Hospital hosts an annual NICU reunion. This year it was held on Sunday, June 23rd at 2pm. It was wonderful seeing Dr. Mena (neonatologist) who cared for LakeLynn in the NICU. He was extremely generous with his time while at the reunion. He made his way around the room spending unlimited time with each parent, child, & family. Pictures were taken by one of his own daughters. Not only did we get to express our sincere appreciation of Dr. Mena's care, but we also had the chance to show our appreciation to LakeLynn's main nurse Robin. Robin rushed over during her busy shift in order to see us. We missed Maura (my post-partum nurse) who initially caught on to what I was saying & the way LakeLynn presented when we arrived on the floor. Maura sprung into action getting Robin (NICU nurse) to assess LakeLynn resulting in LakeLynn being admitted. Lake's SpO2 was dropping along with mild retractions & nasal flaring beginning. Our daughter was in Dr. Mena's care in no time due to the quick response of both Maura & Robin. We are forever grateful to all 3 of you for keeping our precious girl with us.
