Cecille has provided my dad with the best care by checking on him like clockwork while answering our questions and reassuring us he was improving, even if it wasn't as quick as we wanted. After a full week in ICU, my dad finally responded to me. As I sobbed and kept asking my dad if he could hear me, Cecille came in and stood with me and cried. She told me how happy she was for me because she knew how worried I was. Cecille could have been cold or not even been emotional. Her tears proved not only does she care about my dad (her patient), but me! I cannot express how much just a few tears made me feel. She put me first over herself. She never may know how much she means to me, but she gave me the one thing many people haven't been able to, which was compassion! She realized how much I worried and how much my dad responding meant. In fact, him responding is a testament to all her work and love for him. She has been nothing short of exactly what we all needed during this stressful time.
