Ashley took care of my daddy when he was admitted for cancer. She was so attentive and kind. Always came in with a smile! When my daddy was down she would cheer him up. She also helped me deal with his medical issues. He came back from a surgical biopsy one night and was very confused and she helped me with his anxiety and found out who I needed to talk to, in order to help him calm down! He was reacting to sedation he had during his biopsy. He overheard a conversation regarding another nearby patient in recovery and he thought it was about him. Ashley was very patient during our almost two-week stay. All the nurses and CNAs were very good with him, but Ashely went above and beyond. She supported me in my anxiety and gave hugs as needed. I have never met anyone whom I have connected with like her.
Recently, my mom became very ill and was in the ICU. Ashley heard and recognized my voice and just stopped by to say hello! I have never had that happen. It has been so stressful to have had my father get so sick and then to die and one week later I am dealing with my mom just as sick. It made it a little better to hear a comforting voice and get that warm reassuring hug from Ashley! It helped my anxiety that day and she was also her nurse that day and was so caring and thoughtful.
Thank you for letting me share with you how great she is.
