A remarkable thing occurs every day in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) around the nation. A unique and touching bond develops between the smallest fighters in the world—newborns—and the real-life heroes, the nurses, who begin their lives dealing with medical difficulties.
The young combatants’ health issues force them to stay in the hospital for a considerable amount of time—between two and eight months. In the meantime, the doctors, nurses, and housekeepers who toil diligently behind the scenes develop unique relationships with the infants.
As the unit in charge of the NICU at Thumbay University Hospital in Ajman for the past fifteen years, Tessy is one of many nurses who have developed bonds with hundreds of babies. She claimed that a crucial aspect of her work is developing an emotional bond with these tiny patients. “To create that emotional connection, I chat to these young children and make sure they are comfortable. We wind up becoming close to them. We continue to follow up with the parents to inquire about the baby’s growth milestones, even months or years after discharge.
