My husband was hospitalized at Mercy hospital with acute sepsis with shock. He had to undergo emergency surgery that evening and was in critical condition for 3 days. What my family and I experienced over the next several days was nothing short of a miracle. As I watched a critical care team of both medical and nursing personnel working to save my husband's life, I was both a bit frightened and comforted. What I witnessed was a "dance" of efficiency, grace, and determination that I have never seen before. Short end to that story is that by God's grace and mercy and that Team's efforts, my husband lives today. There were so many people that did the impossible, but I know this platform is reserved for the nursing staff. So, I want to point out a few nurses that demonstrated all the Mercy standards.

When T was transferred from the ICU to the 6th floor, there were several nurses that shone. While I did not have experience with the night crew, T said those nurses were equally kind and skilled. We were there for 5 days. The nurse who had the most interaction with us was Becky Jaworski, RN. What a jewel you all have in her! First of all, her calm and confident manner was an indication to us that we would be cared for in an excellent way. We also saw her positive attitude toward her team and that fostered a culture of excellence in them. We were so thankful for Becky and the exceptional care she provided to T. She is a true jewel! Thank you for this opportunity to give this feedback.
