Chris was a Godsend during one of the most challenging days of our lives.
Words cannot describe how helpful and supportive Chris was during our visit to the Pediatric Emergency Room at University Hospital. Our nephew was sent to the emergency room for medical clearance before being admitted to a pediatric mental health facility. This was one of the most stressful days for our family, and Chris's kindness and compassion helped us remain calm and focused on our nephew. Chris ensured we were kept up to date on the lab results and spoke to my nephew with kind, compassionate words. He made sure that my nephew, husband, and I all had food and had everything we needed.
Regarding discharge, Chris was a huge advocate for my nephew and our family, ensuring we received what was required. When I raised a concern with him, he stated that he had already escalated it to the physicians and his nursing leadership. This felt like a massive weight off my shoulders. Chris was a Godsend during one of the most challenging days of our lives. Thank you, Chris, for all that you have done. We are beyond grateful for everything you did for us and are blessed to have had the privilege of having you as our nurse.
