I was admitted to CRMC with Covid pneumonia for 10 days. I needed to go to the restroom and on my way back to the bed, I felt very weak. The nurse, Donna, got me into bed and immediately put me on BiPAP. She was so calm and cool about the situation that I didn't realize that my oxygen level had dropped to 60. With her being calm, I was calm. I gave my daughter-in-law’s number to be the contact, due to her being a nurse.

Donna called her at any time during the night, no matter how late, to give updates. She always checked on me, even when she had rotated to another patient assignment. I am an employee of CRMC, working in Food and Nutrition. I believe with all my heart, that God gave me this nurse. It wasn't until the day before I was being discharged that I found out how bad I actually was. I should not have made it. But God knew that this lady would be the one that could get me thru this. He was not done with me yet.
