As many people know we were absolutely blessed with the most amazing home nurse when Bennett was sick. She was the only nurse that watched him during the day and so we got to all play together A LOT during his first year. She was there for so many firsts, like rolling over, sitting up, surgeries, and even when he was first making sounds. She means a great deal to Bennett and even more to the mama that couldn't have done it without her.
She found out she was pregnant with her second little guy right after she started with us and was pretty pregnant when she was looking forward to a move East to be with her family while her husband was deployed to Iraq in the fall. She hung in there until the day before Bennett got his Trach out in October. We were ecstatic she stayed with us so long but at the same time it was sad to have her leave before the big victory of him finally getting his trach out.
Thankfully her husband has returned home safely from deployment and they met back up here in Washington and we were able to spend some time with her. It is great to see her even if she is planning to move on to Oklahoma in a couple weeks. She is a lifelong friend for us and I know I will always tell Bennett many stories of his nurse Stacey. This is us having fun at the park today...
Did I mention she has two adorable boys?! This is Grant is 9 and I got to hear all about him while she was here but didnt get to meet him until this summer... He is so much fun and Bennett loves just following him around seeing all the big kid stuff. It is so fun seeing Stacey as a mom.
