Our daughter was born premature, and during our first night visit, we met Arie. It was a very scary night for both my husband and me, and we didn't even begin to know what questions to ask or how to handle the unknowns. Arie was not only thorough, but he also acted as though he was caring for his own precious daughter. He spent so much time by our sides easing all of our worries, and by night 2 he felt like a family member. Working night shifts seems like it would be exhausting, but Arie was upbeat and his passion very apparent. Some people have jobs they are good at, Arie has a calling he was meant to do in life. He is a true DAISY Nurse and deserves so much out of life for the job he does and the person he is.
