This made me know my mother was in good hands.
During my mother’s hospital stay she was on a vent due to invasive surgery. While my mom was on the vent, she would wake up scared and trying to communicate. Katelyn went above and beyond making this happen for her by bringing in a white board for her to write on. It took my mom time to write and it wasn’t easily readable but she made sure to understand her needs to care for her! This made me know my mother was in good hands. She also asked her pain levels frequently instead of letting her lie there in pain and unable to communicate. She’s a true angel. Thank you for being you!
