This personal account concerns a mother whose sick baby was treated in hospital for a congenital heart anomaly. This mother was inspired by her own experience to train as a children's nurse. Her co-author begins by describing how such personal stories and insights can help raise awareness of parents' feelings and improve nursing practice.
