My husband was post-op a high risk surgery already because of all the medical conditions he was dealing with prior. Three days post-op, he was becoming septic, and a lot had to be done in an attempt to stabilize him. Tracie poured everything she had into getting things done and getting him started on CRT. After two machines failed for her, the third one was finally a charm. She kept her composure through all that frustration…(being a critical care nurse 20 years ago, I would have been screaming..lol). Tracie continued to give everything she had to get him stable. Even having a critical care background 20 years ago, I had forgotten a lot. She was willing to refresh me on anything without attitude or looking at me like a dummy…I don’t even recall her taking a lunch break, and the machine downstairs was out of the white monster (not what a nurse wants when everything else is falling apart). I know if I was back in critical care nursing, she would be one of the nurses I would want by my side. Keep pushing on ..keep providing the best care you can, and Thank You for taking care of the love of my life.
