I felt he was in good hands when I was not there to advocate for him. That peace of mind does not come often when your husband is in crisis.
My husband was suffering from intense pain, 8/10. But as with many men, he was very stoic. Erin was able to determine his pain intensity not by mere numbers but by a series of questions to understand just how much he was not expressing verbally and then get orders for him to be more comfortable. She paid precise attention to every phrase of the care she provided for all his needs.

I felt he was in good hands when I was not there to advocate for him. That peace of mind does not come often when your husband is in crisis. Each day of admission seemed to bring new urgent care needs, culminating in a final crisis that took his life.

I felt everything that could have been done was done.

People called to the medical field have a God-given gift. Not everyone uses that gift to the best of their ability. Erin shared her time and talents every day and we were blessed to have received them.
