With an unexpected turn in our lives, we couldn't have been more thankful and blessed with such an amazing, caring, and passionate nurse. Kayla showed genuine compassion from the first day we met her. Kayla was always there to answer any questions and address any concerns we had. She always had open ears and was willing to try anything to make our son comfortable. She showed sympathy and tried to do anything to help ease our stress and sadness. We had not held our baby in days and she was willing to set things up with a smile to let us hold and comfort our baby. On the day of our son's surgery. Kayla stopped by before heading home to ask how everything went and how glad she was that he was doing so well.
While these things may sound little, it's the little things that made the situation less painful and things not all nurses were willing to do. After our son's surgery and recovery, we were sent home and returned the next day due to an infection in our son's incision area. Kayla was once again there to answer our questions, distract our minds with small conversations, and show her love towards our son. With so much time in the hospital, our son had his days and nights backward. Once again, Kayla went above and beyond to try anything to help us. She created a schedule for him and she grabbed a chair for him to sit and bounce in.
To sum it all up, Kayla created a bond with not only with our baby but our family as well. We couldn't be more thankful for all her help and for being an advocate for our son when he cannot advocate for himself. While there are many amazing doctors and nurses at this hospital, Kayla left an imprint in our heart and our son's heart forever. We will never forget her and how thankful we are.
