Being a nurse can be a very rewarding job. However, it can be just as challenging. You never know the type of horrors you could be facing when you walk through the doors to your place of employment. At Florida’s Wolfson Children’s Hospital, an incident occurred that was tough for even the nurses and doctors to deal with. 
 

Delilah was only 14-months-old when she was admitted to the hospital. An examination of the little girl quickly revealed that she had been very abused and neglected. Her body was weak and fragile, and she had broken bones and a fractured skull. Authorities believed that the little girl was the subject of months of abuse and neglect. They knew that only someone cruel and awful could ever hurt a baby this badly. 

One nurse knew that her life was going to be drastically different the moment she saw this innocent child.

Jess Hamm is a nurse in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. She was on duty the day that Delilah was brought into the hospital for treatment. Jess felt intense sorrow and pity for the little girl, but she also knew that she had to remain strong for her. When the baby was brought in she was lifeless, but she also would not let go of Jess’ finger. That was the moment Jess knew she would adopt her.

Jess knew that she could give Delilah a life of love and happiness. She was already resolved to care for her to the best of her ability. The first step was setting up a meeting with the Florida Department of Children and Families. 

As she was doing paperwork, Jess learned something about Delilah that completely shocked her- she had a twin sister named Caroline. Not only that, Caroline was also being treated in that exact same hospital. Jess didn’t hesitate in her decision to adopt both twins and give them a brand new start in life. She knew it was the right thing to do.

Today, the twins are healthy, happy, and very much loved. Jess constantly makes sure that all of their physical and emotional needs are met. 

As the twins get older, Jess has commented on how they have different personalities. Delilah loves giving kisses to everyone she meets. Caroline is also friendly and is quite protective of her sibling. This story proves that love can conquer all!
