As Tabatha worked, she asked about Dad and listened with genuine interest and compassion to our stories and feelings.
My dad came to 2E as a comfort care patient. My sister and I stayed with him 24 hours, keeping him company until Jesus took him home. Tabatha was our nurse multiple times. She cheerfully and efficiently performed her nursing duties and never acted as if she was frazzled or too busy. As she worked, she asked about Dad and listened with genuine interest and compassion to our stories and feelings. And she wanted to know about him as a person. She CARED and expressed it the night he passed on, as she supported and gently guided me through the procedures associated with Dad’s FINAL discharge. Loving person – wonderful nurse. I love how she was there when I needed her and how she took care of me. She is so awesome, like how she comes in and was a good nurse to me. If I had any questions she answered the best way she could. And if I ever had to stay in the hospital she would be the one I wanted to take care of me. She is the best nurse ever!
