Tayah is special. She knows how to connect. She has a gift.
Tayah was our daughter’s nurse for several days in a row toward the end of her stay, and when I say she was a game changer for the whole family - we mean GAMECHANGER. Tayah came in with such an upbeat and fun energy. Tayah quickly got to know her and understand how to push her in the right ways to make progress. One night my husband called me to tell me that her entire room had filed with people clapping to the “water song” her and Tayah had found to encourage her intake. I think they made a LOT of noise, but it was happy noise! Tayah is special. She knows how to connect. She has a gift. We are so thankful for the incredible care during her lengthy stay. Thank you, Tayah!
