Words cannot explain how these nurses were performing. The entire team accommodated "A" as one of their family members. My wife and I were shocked at how the nurses cared and how they were willing to do almost anything to make my child happy and comfortable during his BMT journey. Seeing them acting like that with my five-year-old child made me so proud of the level of care this hospital is offering. Jenna would sit on the floor and talk to my child for a long time to convince him to take the medication, and she would just praise him once he takes them. Katie K is also another person who not only was taking care of our child but also educating my wife and myself on meds and symptoms. She was racing my child on a tricycle children's bike in the hallway of the floor and encouraging him to find the characters taped on the walls. Julia was the angel walking in and out of the room at night without us feeling someone was there. Amber was a source of information and loving person. Kelly spent her time dressing up and wearing caps with Mario and Luigi characters because she knew my son would be happy seeing them and also was providing top care. Bethany, who is also about to retire, is a book of knowledge. She is very compassionate and very energetic. If I were to write down the situations these nurses were offering us, I would write an encyclopedia. Thank you is an understatement.
