Keeley's NICU Superhero is Jessica from Addenbrooke's Hospital!

     

Keeley has nominated Jessica from Addenbrooke's Hospital for our NICU Superhero Award!

Keeley's son, Avi, was born at 23 weeks and 3 days gestation. Sadly, his twin brother passed away the day after birth. During this incredibly difficult time, Jessica was a huge support.

"As we had the loss of Avi's brother on our mind, it was really hard to stay positive and optimistic during Avi's NICU stay.

However, Jess did that for us.

She gave us words of positivity daily and encouraged my first hold of him when I was terrified.

Jess advocated for our son when we didn't know what was best.

She's an angel and we couldn't have got through our 4 month stay without her."

Congratulations, Jessica!

The way you advocate for your tiny patients and make their parents feel at ease makes a challenging time that bit easier.
