During the peak of the pandemic due to COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia in 2020, this patient was admitted to Unit I, which is the Isolation Unit of Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital. She was admitted with her son. During those times, the nurses in the unit never made them feel like they are infected and rejected like how others with COVID-19 are treated. Nurses play with her son giving them something to make their stay in the hospital still enjoyable as a child, like drawing materials and other entertaining materials that could divert the attention of the son to other activities. She will never forget those days, when she as a sick mother, is not able to take care of her son. However, nurses are angels who were brought by God to ensure that patients like them are taken care of. This time, her daughter was infected with COVID-19 and has to be admitted to the same unit where she and her son was previously admitted. However, she is feeling comfortable because her daughter will be in the hands of those caring nurses who also took care of her and her son.
