Susie Diamante is a night nurse who cared for my husband. He was hospitalized in Henry Ford main hospital for 11 days due to heart failure. Susie did an excellent job of listening to our concerns and making suggestions for his relief. We were both very impressed that Susie even rubbed his back with aromatic lotion. When it was hurting him so much possibly for being in bed too much. Susie got him a Popsicle for his overly dry mouth due to new medication. She checked in on him often and offered to get things for his comfort. We appreciated this so, so much. He has many complications such as being legally blind, but Susie made suggestions to help even with this during his care. And boy, Susie was so cheerful! She made us laugh and we sure needed that. Susie's attitude was positive and infectious in a great way.
