My husband had a procedure this summer and I had been staying in the hospital with him. On Sunday morning, I experienced very sharp stomach pains. Amee took charge. She assisted me, made sure I was okay and then proceeded to arrange for me to go to the emergency room, where I discovered I had a kidney stone. She stayed with me until I was transported. If she wasn't there that morning, I'm not quite sure what would have happened. She took care of both myself and my husband. As fate would have it, a few weeks later, we found ourselves back in the hospital and were happy to find that Amee was our nurse again. We had a very hard couple of days but Amee was by our side offering her support and answered all our questions. She is amazing! She has given us the gift of encouragement and hope during a difficult time.
