A patient sought care at Spectrum Health Gerber Memorial. The trip turned into an admission and emergency surgery. Her youngest of three children, K, was turning 8 years old just two days later.
Due to her surgery and recovery, she and her husband had no choice but to cancel their son's birthday party that was to take place the following day
"K was taking my surgery and me being gone pretty hard and I felt so bad not being there. The last thing that we wanted to do was to cancel his birthday party," the patient said. "My husband and our children came to the hospital Sunday, K's birthday, to visit me and Victoria came in the room with a piece of cake, some ice cream and sang happy birthday to him. This made him feel so special. Victoria was not only attentive to me, but to my family. She is a great nurse and I want her to know how grateful we are for her and her care."
