As a pediatric nurse, I love to see something good about the profession. Of course, Tom I love it. I hope your grandson, so little to be a patient, is doing so much better and is home where he belongs. Many prayers.

Whatever the profession, it is, I think, to human souls to transform it into a vocation serving Humanity while being beautiful human beings.. I hope your precious angel is fine and doing well.. My warmest wishes Tom. Stay blessed always.

I like this haiku. Tom, I did not know that you lived in Wales. I worked in Solva in Pembrokeshire for many years. And my triplets were born in Abertawe Hospital. The care there was also wonderful. Thank you for sharing and many wishes, Kai

My deepest and most sincere thoughts and prayers to you and your grandson. God's word says when two or more of us agree, he will grant our prayers. And we all certainly agree that little fellow will be just fine.

Oy, only eight weeks old. My heart goes out to your grandson for a speedy and complete recovery! … And glad to hear that the personnel at Cardiff is angelic … I'm hear to tell you that medical angels have fled Chicago altogether. (I have the war stories to prove it). Best wishes, Gershon
