I just wanted to reach out and let you know that my son's stay on the 2200 unit was amazing. Everyone was so kind to him after his surgery. He had two back to back surgeries last week to help save his kidney. He has Randall's plaque and has had multiple surgeries over the past 14 years since his diagnosis. This past surgery was by far the more intricate surgery on his kidney and by far the most painful for him. Your nurses were amazing and so patient with him when he was having a hard time with his pain. I especially would like to shout out to Bernie RN (Bernadette) whom I cannot thank enough for all her kindness and caring towards my son. She was always smiling and always listening to him when he needed some assurance that everything was all right. My son is an adult, but as a mom, you cannot bear to watch your children in pain no matter what their age. She was by far one of the best nurses I have met in his long 14-year journey of surgeries and painful procedures. She made sure that his pain was controlled while supporting him emotionally when I could not be there. I am proud to say that I work with her here at Mercy. She is the perfect example of what every nurse should model and shows with her care the example of Mercy values.
