This NICU nurse's Facebook post gives us a glimpse into the hard, heartbreaking, rewarding work of caring for fragile babies every day.

"We are only on day 8 of no electronics, and I am so amazed at what I've seen that I am on fire to share it with the world. I figured The Boy might show some change without an iPod in his hand, but I had no idea the dramatic improvement that would take place."

"I first walked around to the baby. She looked at me with a face that said 'help.' I can't even describe to you how bad she looked and how and why nobody noticed it."

"I was amazed that a child could be so aware, so astute and so insightful...I looked at her with tears behind my eyes. I keep looking at that piece of paper."

"I'm a very committed Christian and Chick-fil-A's value--their corporate purpose statement is to glorify God and to be faithful stewards of all that's entrusted to them and to have a positive influence on everyone who comes into contact with them--and I would say that that mirrors my personal beliefs perfectly. And so I really felt it very personally."

Once again, we see Jesus doing what He does best: touching and transforming the unclean and crossing boundaries of culture, social status, and gender.

"We make a gazillion decisions each day. Or at least, it feels like we do. And the more decisions in a day, the worse our decisions are by the end of the day — the research backs me up on this."

"I know what it’s like to see parents and children stare at your child, laugh at them or worse…walk away from them. People would understand if your child looked different, if you were pushing them in a wheelchair or if they had a walking frame. I see your child’s disability even when they don’t look disabled."
