I am grateful to have experienced her warm presence as my nurse, my caregiver, and my light at the end of a long tunnel.
Alyssa is so nice that I had to submit twice.

 Alyssa Gibson has a calming caregiver presence that she infectiously radiates throughout her nurturing energy as a nurse. Her presence brought a caring energy that made me feel confident in my healing. She clearly and calmly explained the next steps of my care in a concise manner.

When I met Alyssa, I was on my second ER visit after just two weeks of recovery at home from my previous ER visit. I was diagnosed with RIS (MS family) in 2022 at 23 years old. The thing that separates RIS from MS is a 24-symptom attack, from my understanding. My previous ER visit was the first time I had an MS flare-up, where I was unable to move my body from my core muscles down; however, I could feel everything from my core down - how scary is that - feeling everything but being unable to respond.

Fast forward 14 days, and I have to call the ambulance to take me to the ER the day after I just finished my steroids from the previous visit due to symptoms of chest pain, shortness of breath, and my right arm going numb. I felt weak, but Alyssa's energy made me feel confident in my recovery. I didn't feel the desire to question her care; I just felt a deep trust in the way she presented the Information at hand to me. It just clicked. It just made sense. It just made me feel confident in recovery.

I came in feeling scared I would have to relive my previous multiple-day ER experience, but after I left the ER, I got up to the room, and my energy shifted; a change happened. I didn't feel anxious or fearful after I encountered Alyssa, and the crazy part is: she was just doing her job. Just another Friday afternoon for her, however, for me, it was a life-changing moment of confidence in my capability to navigate my newfound debilitating autoimmune disorder. And guess what? I was discharged the same day this time around.

I am grateful to have experienced her warm presence as my nurse, my caregiver, and my light at the end of a long tunnel. Alyssa Gibson deserves this DAISY and some cinnamon rolls (those were my favorite growing up), and I am sending her cinnamon rolls and daisies to show my appreciation.

She's a sunflower in a field of roses, looking towards the light, and when she noticed a lonely sunflower (me) in the dark, she turned to radiate the light she absorbs from that sun into me. I don't make the rules; that's just what sunflowers do for other sunflowers in real life.
