They're just as happy to see your infant leave the NICU as you are.
"There is nothing like sending a little one home from the NICU! When nurses at my hospital have cared for a baby long-term, their going home day — or graduation day — is a celebration. We often come in on our days off to celebrate them and help see them off. I hope parents know that we don't forget them when they walk out of the NICU. We carry their journeys with us. I have learned many lessons from those little fighters and treasure the friendships I've made with their parents." — Emily Forbes
