Our daughter came back to the hospital at a couple days old, and my husband and I were truly devastated. Our first night here, we stayed up all night with her, listening to how sick she was and feeling terrible. My husband had to go to work, so that meant I was here by myself until he came back. When the Night Shift came in, Gabrielle Huyser was introduced as our nurse for the evening. She came in the room smiling, which immediately made me feel better. She finished up shift change in her rounds and came back in to make sure we didn't need anything, and again, simply her smiling presence and being in a positive mood just made me feel a little bit better. Later that night, I was alone and was thinking about how sick our daughter was. It made me feel sad, and I began feeling worse and worse about the situation. It was time for Gabby to do rounds again and check in on us. I've never been the kind of person to admit when there is something wrong with me, but I could tell that Gabby just knew when she asked if I was okay. I began to sob and cry even harder. Gabby grabbed some tissues from the restroom and handed them to me. I poured everything out on Gabby and told her exactly what I was feeling like she was a therapist. Although Gabby was busy and it was clear, she took the time to sit down with me and talk and gently reminded me that it simply wasn't my fault. She was so kind and was very sweet. Every time she walked in the room, she would look at our baby, check on her, and before she left, she asked me how I was feeling. She was our nurse the next night as well and was still very sweet and caring while checking on me and making sure that I didn't need to talk. It may not seem like much, but it meant so much to have someone to talk to when you feel like you've done something wrong. Gabby helped me so much by being kind and taking time to ask a simple question: Are you okay? Like I said to some people, it may seem small or like nothing at all, but this world is truly blessed to have nurses like Gabby out there, who love their job and their patients and are people struggling with things like I was.
