arielle guinn, BSN, RN

Arielle was my son's PICU nurse once he was out of surgery. This was the hardest day of my life and she tried to make it better. I still cry thinking about how my son looked in his bed in the PICU room when I was finally able to see him. She was at his side, making sure everything was OK. She even made a point to ask, "Do you think he looks comfortable?" She said right away that I could touch him, hold his hand and talk to him. As the tears were rolling down my face, some part of me knew, he had been cared for just as I would have cared for him. She answered all my questions, and I had a thousand! She was a very good support person, really making sure I was also ok, not just my son. She allowed me to hold him and helped me care for my son. As a first-time patient this was the scariest moment of my life and I could tell she cared and wanted to make sure my son was cared for. Amazing nurse, amazing care, so thankful for her.
