Our daily experience with Ted cannot be limited to one visit but to all aspects of Ted's bedside manner and nursing abilities. My husband has primary progressive MS and is immobile. Ted is gentle, caring, understanding, compassionate and humorous. Not only was he a wonderful nurse/caregiver for my husband but he was wonderful to our family and our concerns.

Ted has been wonderful. My mother, a 99-year-old woman, has been cared for by Ted for the last few days and I can honestly say that without his care and assistance, she would not be in the condition she is in. My mother has survived because of his watchful eye. He has been available to make certain she is functioning the best that she could function. It should further be noted that Ted always communicates well with the family as he always finds time to answer all our questions and eliminate our concerns. I believe Ted should be recognized for his involvement and support beyond the call of duty. Ted truly epitomizes what every nurse should demonstrate with compassion.

My mother-in-law entered the hospital knocking on death's door. We didn't have much hope that she would survive. She was on a ventilator and several IVs. She was moved to the Intensive Care Unit and that's when our family met Ted. He has been very supportive to my family. He is in the room often and always makes time to answer all our questions. The care he has shown my mother-in-law is over the top. He treats her like she is his own mother. Thank you!
