Sara could not have been more attentive. She has been there for us. She is funny, helpful, and efficient. She treated not only the patient, but also me (the spouse) with dignity and respect. She has taken the time to genuinely care and attend to the patient's special needs after the transplant. She explained what she was doing, dispensing, and what it was for. When she came into the room during the night she was stealthy. You barely knew she was there. She could not do enough to make the patient comfortable. She noticed that he was filling up with fluids and other issues. She is clean and as mentioned above, efficient. She advised us about rounds and what will occur. She explained each medication being administered and came immediately when he hit the call button.
Sara was personable and comforting. She spoke highly and I observed her interacting well with her coworkers. Her handoff to the next shift was thorough and to the point. She knew he liked grape juice and continued to encourage him to hydrate.
She is a rock to cling to during this difficult time. I was comfortable leaving him in her hands when I had to leave the area.
She knocked it out of the park!
Awesome, awesome professional caring human!
