As a grandparent, it's hard to put into words the relief and gratitude I felt when Lizzy cared for my grandson during his recent stay.

My 4-year-old grandson had just come out of a postoperative procedure, and like any young child, he was scared and overwhelmed by the unfamiliar sights and sounds around him. Then, Lizzy entered his room, and from that moment, everything changed. With remarkable patience and warmth, she introduced each piece of medical equipment in a way he could understand, making it all feel like a game. I'll never forget the smile on his face when she showed him how to use his own sticker book, which she created with simple materials, something that might have seemed small but made a world of difference.

She helped him focus on something fun, calming his fears and letting her do her job without any tears or fuss. Lizzy's ability to connect with him on his level, with such a caring attitude, put our whole family at ease. It's clear she genuinely loves what she does, and her empathy shines through in every interaction. She made my grandson feel safe, comfortable, and even happy during a difficult time, and for that, we are forever grateful.

Lizzy truly exemplifies what it means to be a compassionate and skilled nurse, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her by our side.
