It’s Juneteenth and for white folks who like to be allies it’s time for deep reflection. True freedom has yet to arrive here, we have so much work to do.

Happy Juneteenth! ❤️💚🖤💛

It’s my birthday and all I want is a better world for the sweet little ones I dedicate my career (and life, really) to helping grow big and strong.

I wish for compassion and kindness.
I wish for inclusion for all.
I wish for universal access to quality healthcare.
I wish for safety and belonging for all the groups that have been marginalized for so long.
(I also wish for paid parental leave, affordable childcare, and bereavement leave for all the parents of NICU babies and angels)

Is that so much to ask for?! 😂🫶

Thanks for being here and for those who have made me who I am these past 37 years! 🤟

Some days working in the NICU breaks my heart. Some days I’m so swamped I don’t get a second to breathe. Some days I can’t get out of bed because I’m so exhausted. Some days the frustrations of working in healthcare feel insurmountable.

But then moments like this remind why I do what I do. Why I stay late to help a mom baby wear her preemie for the first time, why I work through lunch to catch another care time, why I fight the broken system to make things better.

It’s all for the babies and their families. Getting to support littles from day 1 to help them grow big and strong fills me. Connecting with families to help build meaningful experiences in the midst of a medical setting gives me purpose.

Moments like these are worth the long hours and hard times. They mean the world to me and are why I love getting to be a neonatal physical therapist 🤟❤️🥹

To date probably my favorite text from a nurse when collaborating on a patient 😂😍

But fr though, I can’t do my job without the incredible nurses by my side. We work together, help each other, and advocate for our patients together. I am so grateful for every nurse who gives there all to their patients, and am lucky to work with the best in the game. 🫶

Happy Nurse’s Week to the ones who make the world go ‘round and keep us all safer and healthier! ✌️
