Kaylynn Heard immediately pulled the big-size reclining chair into the room and showed me how to make the bed that I called "5 Star Hotel Bed!" Slender, petite, but strong and full of energy! I was very amazed! It was so fun and such a joy to watch her work. She is also my counselor. After caring for my husband, she would always ask if I needed anything, so sometimes, even at 1 am or 3 am, I asked her an important question, such as why I should not give my husband a lot of water. Why does he need to drink other soft drinks? That helped keep the sodium level in a good balance, etc. Why did my husband eat so much and he could not have a BM... Why do hospitals not seem to share medical records with each other? Her answers were calm and comforting, and that helped my emotional feelings. I can tell she cares for my husband and for me, too. Her compassion shows clearly. This nurse deserves to be recognized.

Thank you, Kaylynn, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
