Abstract

It was a normal day of work. I was going through the regular routine of a hectic morning in the NICU at the John H. Stroger Hospital. There was a mom who came to visit her baby in the crib behind me. A few minutes passed, and I turned around to greet her. I asked her if she needed any assistance and gave her a curtain to provide her privacy while doing kangaroo care with her infant. After some time, I checked on her to see if she needed anything. I was touched by the scene in front of me. The mother had the baby tucked in her shirt, and he was comfortably asleep as the mother happily smiled at him, softly whispering loving words. Although this was a normal scene in the NICU, on this particular day, I felt compelled to capture it. I immediately remembered that my unit had just purchased a new camera, which I was coincidentally testing out on this day. I decided that there was no better way to remember this moment than by taking a picture. So I grabbed the camera and asked the mother’s permission. She pleasantly agreed. The picture was so beautiful that I decided to print it out and share it with the other nurses in my unit. The response was overwhelming. Everyone felt touched by this picture because it captured such a beautiful, perfect moment shared between a mother and her infant.
