I was lucky to meet and take care of Mohammed when he was just about a year old. He was known as the "little peanut" back then. Even though he was small, he let us know what he liked and didn't like. His big beautiful eyes watched everything, and his smile would lite up the room.
Over the years, this little peanut grew into his name, Muhammed. However here in the PICU most of us called Muhammed, "Momo". He touched so many lives. So many of us here at Cooper Hospital (nurses, doctors, respiratory therapists, child life, techs,...) fell in love with him and his beautiful family. We saw ourselves as his "Cooper family" working hard during his every hospital visit to get him better and back home to his beautiful family. This time it was not meant to be....
He is an inspiration to us. Momo had to fight to over come many hurdles in his lifetime... beating the odds so many times. Definitely an amazing young man. Everyone who knew Momo, loved him! I know I did! I also know I would always look forward to seeing Nat's latest pictures of Momo dressed in his special outfits for his excursions....decked out in his cute shirts and sunglasses, always brought a smile to my face... as well as Nat's stories of how he loved his bath time with her. Even though Momo couldn't do as much during his later years, he still brought much love to his family and friends.
Words cannot express my sadness at your loss Nat & Luis, and family! Momo will be forever remembered and forever missed!
My deepest sympathy Nat & Luis, love Sue Butler (one of Momo's PICU nurses)
