From the moment I was admitted to HMC, Missy was a positive light shining on my case. An aneurysm can be a very confusing thing to go through, but Missy described what was going on all the way through. Showing diagrams and breaking things down so we could understand. At no time was I afraid because I knew I had Missy there with me the whole time. God gave me a guardian when I came here. Her name is Melissa Rhoads. I have even been transferred and she has still come to check in on me. I am so thankful for her; her explanation of what happened, is happening and may happen. Her honesty and kindness have overwhelmed me and I hope that she is awarded for all of her hard work. Missy is not just a nurse, but a truly caring individual that brings positive ways of thinking and motivation into practice each day; putting others before herself and relating to people in a way that they are comforted. Thank you for never leaving my side! Thank you!
