Thirty three years ago David Caldwell was a preemie and spent the first six weeks of his life in the NICU. It was a terrifying time for his mother, but she was fortunate to have an incredible nurse who reassured her that David would be fine. That nurse, Lissa McGowan, was a woman David’s mother would never forget…nor will David. On any given day, there are 20 nurses that work the NICU unit for over 1,500 births a year at S. Peters University Hospital. So the probability of Lissa McGowan, 33 years later, working when David’s son was born, ten weeks early, was highly unlikely. But she was, and she was the very nurse who has been caring for little Zayne Alexander Caldwell. For David, this is not just an incredible coincidence but a sign from his mother, who passed away a few years ago, providing him with comfort and support. Judaism teaches that a leaf doesn’t fall from a tree without a reason and mission. This incredible story shows Divine Providence in a beautiful way.
