Grateful Parents Walk In On Hospital Worker Reading To Their Baby Girl As She Fights For Her Life
As a parent, one of your worst fears is having to watch your child go through a tough time.
Having your child hospitalized truly breaks your heart, especially knowing that there is nothing that you can do other than be there for your baby.
Jacob and Cassie Baker know this feeling of helplessness all too well.
Their sweet daughter, Little Parker was born at just 23 weeks. Her mother, Cassie Baker, says she is currently in a PICU fighting for her life due to a respiratory virus. The baby girl had to spend over 200 days in the NICU before finally being able to go home with her family in July 2019.
While Parker continues to fight, she isn’t fighting alone.
Her mother tells FOX 35 News that Dane’s simple act of kindness toward his patients during their most vulnerable moments is something very special.
This loving man is in charge of monitoring Parker.He also understands the fear that parents have when their child is hooked up to all of these machines. This is why Dane goes the extra mile to give love and attention to each patient, including Parker.
“He is wonderful. We have two other kids to care for at home, and knowing she is getting the compassion and love from a medical professional the way Dane has, it warms our hearts. He is a truly special human being.”
In these adorable photos, you can see Dane reading to Parker as she lays in bed.
Dane is so passionate about the connection that comes from reading that he even started a book drive at MercyOne Des Moines. Dane’s favorite book to read to Parker is “The Possible Small Engine.” He says the book is the perfect example of Parker’s fighting spirit and will to live.
