AnnaSummer Harrison

It is difficult to stand out in 4 North because excellence is the standard of care in that unit, but I would like to nominate AnnaSummer Harrison for the DAISY Award.

Our daughter was diagnosed with Leukemia in August of 2010.  We have had many unplanned stays due to infections and other side effects of chemotherapy.  The open-ended unplanned stays are especially difficult to deal with mentally.  What makes AnnaSummer excel as a nurse is her ability to keep us happy and positive.  She gives us a pep talk when she senses that we are down.  She explains procedures and medicine options when we need it.  And she gives us good old celebrity gossip talk when we need the distraction.

The biggest compliment that we can pay her is that we love her and consider her a part of the family.
