Beth Wass,
I can't even begin to tell you how grateful I am for all that you have done for my husband, myself and the boys since we came to OSU. I have been in the medical field for over 20 years and never have I met someone as genuine, humble, caring, compassionate, intelligent, attentive, patient, and down to earth as you (I seriously could go on and on).
When I walked into the ICU, I was broken, devastated, terrified, and numb from everything we were going through. I was wandering lost, but you were the light that shined so that I could see through the darkness. The moment you greeted me in his room, I knew you were his Guardian Angel and that God had placed you in our lives for many reasons.
When I wanted to take you home to train my nurses you humbly mentioned that it is easier to give care to one person than several (which is true); but I honestly believe you would have the exact same devotion to each and every one of your patients, no matter what.
And I agree that your unit is filled with amazing nurses/staff as we were blessed by each one. You, however, stood out in ways that others didn't. When you were his nurse, the moment I came on the unit, you were at his door giving me an update and answering any questions. When issues occurred, you always presented it in a way that was positive and reassured me that everything was under control. I could breathe knowing that you were taking care of him.
When I didn't know what to do, you knew the exact words to say to comfort me. You knew how to turn tears into laughter in an instant. Thank you for being you.
