While a patient was on the Neuroscience Unit for some tests, her mother had a seizure herself. Tracee Ridley made sure the child was taken care of by taking care of her mother. Tracee cradled the mother’s head in a way to protect her and soothed the child that everything would be ok. Tracee escorted this mother to the emergency department and stayed with her to make sure she was calm, oriented and aware of her surroundings.
