Crystal had been granted her request for a day off to go on a field trip with her daughter. She knew we were going to be busy so she contacted our Coordinator to volunteer to come to work for a few hours in the morning to help us out. On this morning, a pediatric patient came to the recovery room in severe respiratory distress. Crystal was not assigned to recovery duties that day but saw that this patient needed help. She immediately took over holding the airway open and taking care of the needs of this patient while the recovery room nurse monitored vital signs and charted. Crystal tended to the needs of this patient, holding him in her lap while she sat in the bed with him, caring for him like he was her own, rubbing his hair back from his face, and making him as comfortable as possible until he was breathing comfortably and his oxygen levels improved. When Crystal saw that the patient was stable, she turned the patient over to his parents before finally leaving to go do her duties of being a mom to her daughter. I feel like God put Crystal right where she needed to be to help this tiny patient AND this grateful coworker!
