We started in the emergency room with the realization our mother was having a stroke and she had lost her sight. We met Ms. Syd three hours later. Her focused, laser-like attention to Mom immediately put us at ease.
Our mother was terrified and confused—Ms. Syd answered the same questions over and over. The biggest bonus was Ms. Syd's ability to make us all laugh and put us at ease. As the realization that our lives had all changed forever, we were able to laugh and feel as a family we were going to be okay. It was the worst day of my life and with the skill and kindness of a "wonder woman", Sydney Sampsell healed us all.
