I began crying, unable to speak and Ellie sat down next to me.
How tough and scary to be in the ICU for my first time and hopefully last! Great people but...... I began crying, unable to speak and Ellie sat down next to me. Knowing how scared I was, she began the RN encouragement talk. She didn't stop there, she placed a shampoo cap on my head which I knew nothing about. About an hour later she returned to comb my hair out and gave me a French braid! The doctor said I had a zen look! Meant so much to me, Thank you, Ellie!
