At times when mom was scared and so was I, Taylor would get right down with her and hold her hand and tell her she could do it and that she would be okay.
My mom was rushed to Cookeville Regional Medical Center. She was admitted to 4N and that night was rushed to ICU. She was septic, in acute kidney failure, and cardiac shock, after returning to 4N after being in ICU. She had the best nurse I could ever ask for. His name is Taylor. He was kind and funny and made every scary situation a little bit better.
When mom first arrived at 4N after her time in ICU she was very confused, disoriented, and had no idea what was going on, but she always knew when Taylor was in the room. Taylor has been with me from the time we arrived until I wrote this message six days later. He’s been there for 12 hours a day every day making sure that she was okay watching her progress and keeping me informed. I don’t think I could’ve made it through this difficult time without him.
At times when mom was scared and so was I, Taylor would get right down with her and hold her hand and tell her she could do it and that she would be okay. He always made sure I had what I needed while staying in the hospital constantly with her. I’ve never met a nurse as perfect as Taylor and as she gets ready to have her Heart Cath tomorrow I’m super sad that he is off, but he deserves all the time in the world. I don’t think we could’ve made it this far and that I could’ve been as strong as I am without such a dedicated, kind, caring, and loving nurse.
I can’t thank Taylor enough. There are not enough words or the right way to say it but I really feel like he was Mom’s angel! He could get her to take pills that she didn’t want to take. He would joke with her and always have a way to keep her calm. He was right there to cheer her on when she made little advancements, whether it was just being able to stand up from bed or finally walking down the hallway. He was her biggest cheerleader. You never would’ve known that he had other patients, but he did he always made my mom feel like she was the number one priority and made me know that she was safe and well cared for from 7 am – 7 pm. I will never be able to express my gratitude to you, Taylor.
