Jack celebrates his NICU graduation

St. Cloud Hospital NICU

celebrated 20 years this past June.

















Dr. Norman Virnig and Jack (June 2008)
Jack says hi every body Jack is cool signed ruth!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a past graduate, Jack was invited to the celebration at Molitor's Trout Farm. This September will be 10 years since Jack was whisked out of my sight and taken to the NICU. The 17 day ordeal was totally unexpected (I was having a very healthy pregnancy) and much longer than we expected. We are so happy to have our healthy, happy, silly, funky boy. He's a fine example of very dedicated doctors and nurses who work to help our babies when they take an unexpected turn. Way back when Jack was patient, Dr. Norman Virnig and Dr. Fredricks were the only NICU doctors at the St. Cloud Hospital. Dr. Virnig set up the NICU and was there to greet all the graduates.

Dr. Virnig or Dr. Fredricks are no longer neonatoligists at the St. Cloud Hospital, but I owe them everything for taking care of my first little boy!

HEY, somebody got into my post while I stepped away to deal with a temper tantrum put on by another somebody. Can you guess who was the silent poster and who was the one in the need of a timeout???

I AGREE...JACK SURE IS COOL!! Glad you blogged about this...it's an amazing job those doctors and nurses do and for every "bad" story you hear about a hospital or clinic or dr., there are hundreds and thousands of great deeds that go unnoticed and unthanked. Cool that you were able to get a picture with Dr. Virnig.
