In December, my grandma was admitted for pneumonia. Additional testing would reveal a diagnosis of stage four lung cancer that had metastasized to her liver as well. This was the most devastating Christmas to date for our family. There was so much fear of the unknown for my grandma's future.
Katie, however, became our "ray of sunshine" each evening when she came in. She brought a smile to my grandmother even after receiving devastating news. We looked forward to Katie. Aside from being an exceptional nurse, she went beyond the call of duty to encourage, bring peace to my grandmother as well as comfort, and provide strength to me. Katie sent an amazing note to my grandmother after her stay. That very note my grandma holds dear to her heart and to this day sits on her side table by her chair to view each day. It serves as a reminder that Katie Wyatt is an angel and was a true blessing to my grandma and our family to provide strength and compassion.
