Peter was Noah's main doctor in the PICU as he is the head of the unit and was amazing all week in supporting us, being honest with how Noah really was as the days went on, and giving us and Noah the time that we needed.
Lisa, Brodie and Peter were all with us when Noah passed away and nothing touched us more than seeing tears in their eyes as well as we said goodbye to him. Even though we only knew them for a week, Aaron and I felt a special bond with them as they shared such a huge event in our lives.
We couldn't have asked for more special people to share the end of Noah's life with. It was the hardest day of our lives together (I didn't think I could have had a harder day than that, but boy was I wrong), but we couldn't have asked for our last day with Noah to have been any better than it was, and most of it was because of them and the way they treated us and Noah.
To see the beautiful nurse Brodie walk into Aaron's funeral meant the world to me. It was so nice to see her, especially as I hadn't seen her since the day Noah passed away.
I'm sure Aaron would've been smiling down with Noah, grateful that they came to support me and the boys.
Wow what incredible people! Restores one's faith in humanity to know people will go out of their way to be there for others. Thanks for sharing Lisa (hug).
ReplyDeleteTwo very special people.

A testament to the impact you two had on them. They would be saying to you - "that week with you and Aaron and Noah - the privilege was all ours". xx

ReplyDeleteHe is such a lovely man - not what you would expect from a specialist type at all, so glad that they came along too xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat special, thoughtful people! Wow is the word to use to go to Aaron's funeral. I, too have had my 3 children go through the Hobart NPICU when they were born premmie. The staff supported me and my hubby enormously. It's fabulous that our local unit is so amazing x
ReplyDeleteDear Lisa, you and your family's situation is always at the back of my mind these days, I am thinking of you, as I'm sure so many bloggers are mate. Take care, I'll be dropping by to hear your continued journey all the time... xxxxxxx Annie
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful people with such loving and caring hearts.
ReplyDeleteRestores my faith in the medical profession. Thanks for sharing this story about two dedicated healers.

PS. It also says much about you and Aaron as individuals that they would want to be there.
Angels on earth - how wonderful that they came into your life.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and your boys every day

Obviously Noah, your husband and yourself made an impact on them both. Reading your blog gives me insight on how that is possible in even the short time they knew you.
ReplyDeleteI too continue to think of you all daily way over here in BC Canada.
You must have made such an impression on these two beautiful people. They would have felt equally awed to be included in your special family for the week.
ReplyDeleteThe people you least expect to be there for you usually are. You, Aaron, and Noah must have been very special to them as well. Blessings to you, Lisa.
ReplyDeleteThat is so wonderful Lisa. It's very touching that the doctor and nurse who cared for Noah during his last week came to Aaron's service. Lovely on their part, and very heartwarming.
