Baby Conrad was born with a lot of medical complications and fell in love with the NICU nurse that helped save his life -- so his mom asked her to be his godmother.
Over the next several months, Miller often worked the night shift, which meant that when Evans called to check on her son overnight, it was Miller who answered the phone.
"She said, 'This is new to me too so I will be learning with you,'" recalled Evans."And other nurses that would have Conrad on other nights would say, 'Carly kept coming by every night checking on her baby,' which I really appreciated because she didn't have to do that." "Becoming a first-time parent is hard. Becoming a first-time parent of a medically-challenging child is incredibly hard," said Evans."Carly yet again was the person who helped us navigate that."Miller said that Conrad would often be the only patient she cared for on her shift because of his complex needs, which allowed her to bond with him as well as Evans and Williams.
"I think sometimes you meet people in your life and something extraordinary happens, you build a lifelong friendship," she said."For us it happened at Texas Children's NICU." "I just looked at her and said, 'Are you serious?,'" Miller said, referring to Evans."She said I could take my time to think about it and I said, 'Why would I take time?'"
