As I have phased the hardest season of my life, I truly felt like my son had a phenomenal nurse who just made this process a little easier. Marissa was able to be my son's nurse for a few nights and she truly was amazing. She takes/took the time to make a connection with us (the patient's parents). In everything she did, she demonstrated sensitivity, fragility, and empathy. From talking to my son sweetly even when he was in a coma to bringing him a stuffed animal, a robe, and a blanket to make him comfortable. She treated my son the way I would treat him...with love and compassion. She respected our faith and moments of prayer at all times and even was able to find my son a quilt that stunned and represented our beliefs. Her knowledge really shined as she answered our questions, demonstrated, and performed our son's medical plan nightly. I felt honored to have been treated this way, but most importantly, my son. Thank you, Marissa.
