Nurse Suda went above and beyond. She made me feel like a loving family member was taking care of me. I had been awake nearly all night,in labor, and by the time I got settled in my room at about 6:00 am; I was tired, uncomfortable and nervous. This caused me to go into a bit of a panic. Suda, as calm as could be, instructed me to go to the bathroom, wash my face, brush my teeth, fix my hair, and freshen up. I did and when I returned, I was a new woman! I felt much better and probably never would have thought of doing those things.

All day she listened to me; she comforted me and helped me make a good, informed decision about how to manage my pain when it came. She showed kindness and compassion as she cared for me. My baby was born that night and the next day she tracked me down with a big hug. I will never forget her kindnesses and the way she lovingly cared for me on my son's birth day.
