Karen Pelayo, MBAHM, BSRN

Our baby was diagnosed with a brain tumor; my husband lost his job, and I'm a housewife. Nurse Karen provided a portable suction machine with a portable pulse oximeter. She taught me how to use it and connected it to my phone via Bluetooth so I can see the baby's saturation even when he is sleeping and away from me. We were so happy and very thankful for what she did. She also provided extra Vaseline gel, body wash, clothes, and pillows to ensure comfort and make sure her patients receive proper hygiene and care because sometimes we're not able to come regularly. We didn't know until we discovered that all of these were extra care and blessings from her own pocket. We were surprised and so grateful; I cried, thanking the nurse and appreciating what she is doing, which is really amazingly above and beyond. Really an angel from heaven.
