NICU nurse caring for a preemie also cared for baby's dad as a preemie!

A New Jersey neonatal intensive care nurse is caring for premature baby whose father she also cared for years ago in the same hospital. Renata Freydin wrote in a Facebook post that she was looking through her fiance David Caldwell's baby book when she came across a photo showing him as a newborn with a smiling nurse. She said, "I knew that lady!! I immediately asked him who she was and he confirmed that she was the nurse who took care of him during his stay in the NICU and his mom loved her so much that she needed a photo of the two of them on the day he was discharged." Freydin and Caldwell's son, Alexander, was born 10 weeks early on January 10th, and the nurse, Lissa McGowan, was one the nurses looking after the boy at St. Peter's University Hospital in New Brunswick. Caldwell brought a photo showing him and McGowan to the hospital, and the nurses confirmed it was her!
