Dani is an exemplary nurse. My first night in the intensive care unit was devastating for my husband and me. We were told around two in the morning that our baby boy was no longer with us. We had never experienced such painful heartache. Dani was extremely loving and comforting. She could tell how devastated we were and offered such compassionated and loving words to help ease our plain. Once our state of shock was over, Dani shared with us her own personal stories which gave us much-needed comfort and hope. Being able to relate to somebody else helped to ease our minds and gave a sense of peace. I felt extremely cared for and safe while Dani was my nurse. Once I transferred out of the unit, Dani gave us a beautiful arrangement of flowers with loving words of compassion. Dani is a wonderful nurse who helped my husband and I work through our devastating loss and we are very grateful.
