Experiencing care as a patient and employee​. 💙👣 Norton Healthcare employee, Michaela Barber​​ shares her miracle journey in her own words.

"Because of Norton Healthcare and Norton Children's, I'm here. My babies are here. And now, we're soaking up every snuggle with our healthy boy and healthy girl. They remind me every day of the strength, support and care I received from the place I'm proud to work.

We battled infertility for years. Our dream was to start a family, and we sought help from a fertility specialist. I never expected to need fertility coverage, and I never expected it to be included in my employee benefits. But because of those benefits and my role at Norton Healthcare, we were able to pursue IVF and finally move forward.

My leaders and co-workers were incredibly supportive of endless appointments, procedures and surgeries. I consider co-workers family and really leaned on them during this process.

After more than a year of treatment, we finally got the news that I was pregnant with twins. We were overjoyed, but also nervous. Twin pregnancies come with added risks, but, thankfully, my care team was there every step of the way. They made me feel heard, supported and safe.

As my pregnancy progressed, I received weekly care through the Norton Children's Maternal-Fetal Medicine team. The team made me feel at home and ensured my babies were getting the best care possible.

​On March 22, I was admitted after experiencing extreme swelling, headaches, upper abdominal pain and fatigue. Within two hours, I was diagnosed with HELLP syndrome — a severe, life-threatening form of preeclampsia. Dr. Tuller made the decision to deliver our twins early, at just 34 weeks and 3 days.

I was terrified. I knew my babies would be in the NICU, and we had been through so much to get them here. I feared for my life and for the lives of my babies. The teams moved quickly in getting me prepped. Everyone was SO supportive and boosted me up in ways I can never repay. We laughed, we cried, and I knew by God's grace I was in the best hand possible as were my babies.

At 5:11 p.m., Kennie Maybe Barber was born, weighing 4 pounds, 3 ounces. One minute later, Cole Charles Barber followed at 5 pounds, 10 ounces.

I held them for a brief moment before they were rushed to the NICU. I now believe NICU parents are the strongest. That's when the next part of our journey began. It was one of the hardest things I've ever experienced.

Our daughter needed help regulating her temperature and blood sugar. Our son, Cole, struggled to breathe and was placed on life support the day after delivery. It was one of the hardest things I've ever experienced. The feeling of not being able to do anything but watch. Thankfully, within a few days, he was strong enough to come off the ventilator and continue breathing with support.

We spent 2½ weeks in the NICU. That's when we all became family. The care team was nothing short of amazing. Not only did they take care of all of us, they showed my husband and I how to care for our precious miracles. With their help, my husband and I became confident and were able to laugh and find the simplest of joys when it came to our little ones.

We celebrated the little milestones: bigger bottles, moving from incubators to open cribs, and even the tiniest baby t***s that made us laugh. The NICU became our second home and a place of healing."

Congratulations to our recent DAISY award winner Morgan Bickel! 🌼 🏆Here is what Morgan’s nominator had to say:

"My first contact with Morgan was when I was first admitted to the floor. I heard a lovely voice say, “Good morning, friend”. Morgan walked closer with a lovely smile as she greeted me. She gave a presence of happiness, compassion and peace. Every time Morgan entered the room, I was greeted with “Hello friend”. We got to talk about her career, her goals and her dreams. She is a very smart, kind and compassionate nurse. I had Morgan as my nurse for two days. I truly felt like I had a new friend. We said our goodbyes, as she was off the next few days. A few days later, she returned and visited me before and after her shift. She was genuinely happy to see I was improving. She made a point that evening to bring me some ice cream. She provided outstanding care. Morgan deserves this Daisy award many times over."

Thank you for all that you do, Morgan! 💙

A big congratulations to our recent DAISY Award winner, Sav Motely, RN! 🌼 Sav was nominated by a patient's spouse, this is what they had to say:

"My husband was placed in ICU due to a sudden illness. To see him decline so quickly was devastating I have been very overwhelmed. I am not a medical person. I do not understand many of the medications or what’s going on at times. I have been under so much stress because it’s hard for me to think of what he will need in the future. Sav recognized this. She has helped me with some of the most trying things. She helped me get the correct paperwork to seek emergency guardianship and get it to the correct doctors. She took the time to explain everything going on and making sure I understood it all.

She is a kind soul. Her compassion, honesty and caring demeanor helped so much. I am not sure what is going to happen with him but it helps to know there are people like her that truly cares. I am thankful for nurses like Sav.

Thank you Sav, for being a breath of fresh air in a situation that has taken my breath from me."

Thank you for all that you do, Sav! 💙
