Stacey and I went down to visit lil man. This was the very first visit since the insertion of the chest tube. We walked in to see him and I felt a feeling of peace in the air. We walked over to Jr and noticed that he was sleeping well. The nurse told us that they had given him something to relax him after the insertion of the chest tube and that he would be groggy if woke up. Stacey and I just looked in on him and told him that we loved him and that this was going to help our lil man to breathe. I told her that from then on we would make our visits very short so that he could rest and heal.
On our way out, I noticed a picture on the wall that I had passed several times. This picture touched me so much that I had to take a picture of it.
It was a scene from the NICU. It was a beautiful painting!!! There was a baby laying in a medical crib with a nurse assisting him. That was pretty cool. What got me was the angel flying above guarding the lil fella. I immediately said Praise God, because I knew without a shadow of a doubt that he was in there with us and was watching over our son.
After thinking about the painting, I asked the nurse who painted that beautiful pic??? She began to tear up. She told me that a lady who worked in the NICU had painted it. It was her vision. I was intrigued. She began to tear up more because the painting had a special meaning to it. A very nice lady that worked there had passed and she was remembered in the painting. This is a special piece of artwork.
