Dear Editor:
The care that my family received at Lions Gate Hospital was truly an experience I will never forget and always be grateful for. My son spent two days in the NICU nursery, where I would describe these nurses as medical angels.
They attended to every single need, whether it be reassuring us parents when there were tests being done, or just being there with him as a source of comfort when I could not. There were many lessons and demonstrations as well, although it was difficult due to the exhaustion and adjusting to the new schedule.
The recovery with my husband started when there were times the baby would fall asleep, as that allowed us to get some sleep. There were so many caring and thoughtful gestures that really helped us get through the stress, and we’re so grateful to have come out on the other side so we can have a healthy son and a happy life going forward.
Emily, Nathan, and Logan Courville
