Now into our 28th hour here at MGH and Kirsten and I can say one thing definitively: the nurses here are great. You already read about Joanne, our night nurse who helped us reach a couple key milestones. Well, meet Maureen: she took over this morning and has been keeping Kirsten comfortable, relaxed, and happy. No small task when you are trying to jumpstart a body into labor.
Maureen has a gentle touch and a warmth about her. She also knows how to deliver “Nurse’s Orders”: Time to eat. Time to rest. Time to shower. She know best and it’s comforting having her.
So when I grow up, I want to be a nurse at MGH. Think of how many families Maureen and the team have helped. Mind boggling to try to comprehend.
Thank you Maureen.
