I was admitted for a bad cellulitis infection and breathing issues. Barb was so attentive to me. I asked a lot of questions and she took the time to answer every single question with patience and kindness. She was extremely busy but made sure she checked on me very often. She made sure I was comfortable at all times. I am unable to lie down in a bed. I have been sleeping in a chair for about 2 years. Barb tried her best to make me comfortable in the green recliner, but it made me feel very uncomfortable due to the lymph edema in my legs. Barb got a special chair for me from another hospital so I would be comfortable. The chair came and I was able to be comfortable and actually got to rest. Without that chair, I would have been miserable. She went way above and beyond for me. I was very sad and frustrated and was crying. Barb talked to me and made me feel so much better. She actually helped me to believe there was hope. As busy as she was, she checked on me continuously to make sure I was okay. I feel so blessed to have been under her care. I don't know what I would have done without her.
