Sarvnaz Michel, a nurse who works in St. Jude Medical Center's COVID-19 unit, puts shoes on her son, Arshan, next to a sign Michel's husband made to cheer her up Tuesday, July 14, 2020, in Garden Grove, Calif. Michel had just given birth to her youngest son, Arshan, prematurely and was supposed to return to work as a nurse on Valentine's Day. She took six weeks of unpaid maternity leave to buy time. She started a new job at St. Jude's in March, returning to a field very different from the one she had left before his birth. "I cry almost every night," she said. "If it was only about me, it would be a different story." (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong)
