One of the long-term patients from 2East had been in PICU for several weeks on ECMO. In the middle of the night, he deteriorated. When Kathy found out, she came in first thing the next (Saturday) morning on her day off to sit with the mother and comfort her until the young man passed away. After he passed, Kathy remained with the mother until she was able to compose herself to leave. This demonstrates Kathy's compassion and empathy.
