A baby born with a rare heart disease had to undergo two surgeries before his first birthday. In an incredible and heartfelt gesture, the nurse who was part of the infant’s care team decided to adopt him at the request of his mother.
For 32 years, Angela Farnan has been a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) nurse at OSF Children’s Hospital in Illinois. While she was unable to have any children of her own, she considered her small patients as her own. “I treat any patient admitted to the PICU as though they are family, providing the best care, quality care. I treat the family with love and respect,” she explained, according to the OSF HealthCare Blog.
