Born unexpectedly and early at 34 weeks, Lilly Boo Sitton arrived into the world, filling her parents' hearts with both joy and a bit of worry. As she was whisked into the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Sacred Heart Hospital, her parents felt a swirl of emotions. They wanted to be close to their baby girl but knew she needed some time in the NICU. Leaving Lilly in the care of the NICU team each day was heart-wrenching, yet they found peace and confidence knowing she was in the hands of the best nurses.

In the NICU, Paige witnessed the extraordinary care and dedication of Lilly’s doctors and nurses. Each gentle touch, every attention to detail, and the presence of the caregivers made a profound difference. The staff's unwavering support transformed a frightening experience into one filled with love and reassurance. "Trust the nurses and staff," Paige encourages other NICU parents. "They are there for you, providing not just medical care but emotional support too."

Today, as Lilly is a few months old and thriving, Paige reflects on the journey with immense gratitude. The NICU team's love and support not only helped Lilly grow stronger but also brought the family closer, instilling a deep sense of appreciation and hope.

Lilly’s older sister, Libby, wanted to honor her little sister and the care she received. Libby poured her heart into creating a beautiful piece of artwork, capturing Lilly’s strength and the family’s deep gratitude for the NICU team. This heartfelt gesture stands as a lasting tribute to the exceptional care and compassion they experienced.
