Dealing with a sick child can be a nightmare, especially when you have to make repeat hospital visits. However, thousands of parents do it on a regular basis when their children are ill. One woman couldn’t help but take a picture when she woke up in the hospital room her son was staying in. Her husband was on the floor, but it turned out that he was actually there by choice. The picture she took quickly went viral.

Amy Palmer had to bring her 20-month-old son to the York Hospital Pediatrics in July 2016. She was there because her young child had been suffering from a particularly bad asthma attack. Amy told CNN that the attack had occurred over the weekend and she brought him to the hospital to be checked out.

Her husband Andre had been working his graveyard shift at the local manufacturing company. When his shift was over, he headed straight to the hospital to check on his son. When he got there, he found Amy already asleep in the only chair in the room. Instead of waking her up, Andre decided to take his position on the floor, right under the crib. It was there that he ended up falling asleep. When Amy woke up early the next morning, she said that she couldn’t resist taking a picture of him under the baby.

She captioned the picture to express her feelings about her husband, saying he is a hard-working man who dedicates his life to his family. She mentioned that even though he had worked the night shift, he still made the trip to the hospital to see his sick son. Amy explained on a later social media post that their room was tiny. She said that there was only enough room for the crib and her chair.

Amy said that there was only enough room for the crib and her chair. She knew that her husband was exhausted from sleeping on the floor all night. When she woke up, she woke him up too in order to give him her chair.

"After working all night third shift, he's right here with his son who is in the hospital. He's so tired but he's here!! Father of the year award goes to Andre Palmer!!!", Amy wrote.

We are rooting for Amy, Andre, and their 20-month-old son. We hope that he gets better so that everyone can sleep in their own, comfortable beds again! We definitely need more parents like this around!
