We were blessed to have Chelsea for as many days as we did.
Chelsea was amazing since day one. She brought light into a very dark place. The first full day, my husband was put on ECMO. She explained the entire machine and was able to put it in terms of understanding for people not familiar with medical terms. We were blessed to have Chelsea for as many days as we did. She helped me understand so much that when my husband went to the progressive unit, they asked if I had a medical background. My absolute favorite thing Chelsea did was that she took her time to know a little about my husband. She talked to him so well to the point he had to hold her hand. It just warmed my heart. She cared for him so well, and it showed. My husband doesn’t remember her, but I’ll never forget her kind, intelligent self.
