The best Fathers Day gift

Gemma Elizabeth from Hutt Valley District Health Board

"My name is Kelsey.

I am an ED nurse on maternity leave.

My husband, Jason, and I recently had our first baby, a little girl, which we named Heidi.

Our daughter was born on 2 September via emergency caesarean.

We wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who was involved in both mine and Heidi's care.

Heidi spent five days in SCBU with neonatal sepsis. She had amazing around-the-clock care from some spectacular nurses.

A special mention to the staff member who calmed Jason, a very nervous new dad, while Heidi had her IV inserted.

Also, a big thank you to the staff who helped establish breastfeeding and gave me so much confidence. The staff showed amazing empathy and communication.

Jason was able to take us both home on Father's Day - which was the best gift he could've hoped for." - Kelsey
