Sara was intuitive, noticing when emotions were high, and so generously held space for them without awkwardness or shame.
During our stay here, all the staff have been exceptional, but Sara Redmon in particular has stood out. What started as a “let’s just admit and observe overnight” became so much more, and my daughter has been here for a week now. She is not the sickest patient; you can see from a quick glance around the unit that there are so many more critical needs than my daughter's, but Sara went out of her way to spend extra time supporting both my daughter, E, and me through the seemingly never-ending limbo we are floating in. Her kindness took an otherwise extremely traumatic memory and created memories that I will look back on fondly with gratitude.
Sara was intuitive, noticing when emotions were high, and so generously held space for them without awkwardness or shame. On more than one occasion, she came and sat down with me to allow me to process verbally all the information I was hearing and the fears and other emotions I felt in response. She was so kind to my daughter, being proactive and extremely involved in every aspect of her care. “Good enough” was never good enough. She took special time to play with and talk to her, engaging with her as a little person and not just another patient in a bed. As a mom, this brought so much peace knowing the one caring for this child I love more than life, also loved her.
This particular day, I was having a rather hard day with the emotions and had been running on no sleep for days. Sara knew this and creatively made opportunities for me to find solace and rest. All these nurses have been so kind and caring, but Sara quite literally held our hands and jumped into the mess with us, walking the entire day, truly feeling all the things alongside us. She was the kind of person you go and name your kids after and pray they grow up to be like. No one gets into nursing because they hate people; most nurses genuinely care about and want to help people, but Sara took this 10 steps further, going above and beyond in every way. She is leaving lasting and beautiful imprints in otherwise ugly and messy times. She deserves every recognition for this. I pray she continues to bless so many more with her compassion and care.
