Thank you, Roxy! We don't know if we would have our son if you had not worked so hard to get that critical care ambulance! We really can't thank you enough! We will never forget you!
We will never ever forget what Nurse Roxy M., Floor 2 West, compassionately and diligently did to help save the life of our son, D, in June 2019! We often remember the few key people who came alongside us there at St. Josephs to help save our son, of which Roxy is a key one! D was a breath away from dying and his GI physicians at another facility had stopped doing anything more for him and wanted to put him in Hospice to just let that happen. Not only did he have liver failure, but his kidneys were now failing. They refused to put him on the liver transplant list to even give him a chance. We and a key physician at St. Joseph's, whom we also will never forget, talked to Stanford Hospital staff who wanted him transported there to evaluate him and give him a chance! Our problem was transporting him there.
Roxy truly cared about her patient, our son, and stayed late diligently working to get him transported to Stanford! This was his only chance of living. An ambulance arrived, and they took him down to the ambulance but would not transport him because his blood pressure was way too low. So they brought him back up to his room in 2 WEST. Roxy got back on her mission to get D to Stanford that night! She went above and beyond to make that happen! She finally located a critical care nurse out of Sacramento who was willing to travel in the ambulance with our son to Stanford Hospital! A great sigh of relief and exhaustion and thanks to God at this point as we watched that ambulance drive off that night! We knew this was our last hope! Thank you, Roxy.
After 2 weeks of life-supporting intensive care at Stanford Hospital, they put D on the transplant list! Another great sigh of relief and a flood of tears, and thanks to Jesus! And also to the compassionate hepatology specialists at Stanford! THREE DAYS LATER, D had the lifesaving liver transplant and is alive and well still today, in 2024, living a clean, healthy, thankful life to God!
Thank you, Roxy! We don't know if we would have our son if you had not worked so hard to get that critical care ambulance! We really can't thank you enough! We will never forget you! We definitely nominate you for a DAISY Award for being an extra-extraordinary nurse and going above and beyond with care and compassion!
