Henrico NICU nurse spends her days off crocheting costumes for her patients
For Anna Bialkowski, it's the sights and sounds of the tiniest patients that fulfill her heart, even on the heaviest of days.
Bialkowski has clocked into the neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU, at Bon Secours St. Mary's Hospital for the past 10 years, and each little life and their journey is the reason she keeps coming back.
But while her love for these little ones inside the hospital is something to admire, it's her dedication to them outside of work that truly exemplifies her caring spirit.

From St. Patrick's Day to Christmas, Bialkowski spends hours of her off days crocheting unique items for the babies.
