When my son was admitted to D34, I felt very alone, he was vocally loud, shouting and crying as he was scared and had never been in a hospital environment prior to him breaking his femur.
Giving birth 3 weeks earlier and a big family bereavement made me feel lost!
I put up a wall and I was emotionally and physically drained.
A few days in and we met Emma! Helping me assist C with personal care she was the first nurse C began to trust. Within a short amount of time, he decided to admit he liked her.
Emma is very professional in her role but is able to give you the support you need and explain everything and anything you need/want to know.
23 days later I have a happy, half-healed boy, a thriving baby, and a very stress-free head, the wall dropped and smiles all round.
Emma is very caring and knowledgeable, a real credit to the nursing team at D34. I will not forget the support she gave and I hope she knows how appreciated she is.
