Nurse who missed childâs birth due to working in COVID ICU looks back on last year as son turns 1 By Elizabeth Vowell | April 5, 2021 at 6:02 PM CDT - Updated April 5 at 7:51 PM
BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - There is something special about celebrating your child turning one year old. The journey from a newborn to a toddler is a roller-coaster of change, emotion, and development. Any parent will tell you the ride goes way too fast.
Thatâs why Andrew Bamberâs first birthday on Easter Sunday was so special for his dad, James Bamber. An ICU nurse at Ochsner Hospital in Baton Rouge, he missed his sonâs birth and many of those precious first weeks of life because he was busy caring for some of the cityâs sickest patients. In fact, Easter Sunday last year happened to be the day Bamber got to hold his youngest son for the first time.
