She was able to not only keep me calm but my little guy completely fell in love with her and wanted her to sit in the chair and snuggle.
Our 18-month-old was a patient for five days for RSV & pneumonia. It was a very scary time but Hannah’s calm cheerful personality, along with her great nursing care really helped put not only me at ease, but helped my little guy be less scared of being in the hospital. When my husband had to return home to our other children the evening of our 3rd night, I was extremely nervous knowing that our son's hardest times breathing were during the night & I knew I wouldn’t have my husband there to help keep me from worrying too much. I was so relieved when I saw Hannah walk in the room as our night nurse! She was able to not only keep me calm but my little guy completely fell in love with her and wanted her to sit in the chair and snuggle him which says a lot since he is fully in the stranger danger phase. Our family is so grateful for the amazing nurse she is and thinks she was definitely born for this job! She not only took excellent care of our little guy she made sure we have everything we needed so we could focus on him. We are so grateful to have her as our son's nurse! She was exactly who we needed in our lives during such a scary time.
