My Dad was there for ten days. He was in ICU and then moved to 5 NW. My family would like to thank Chris for the care he gave while my dad was on 5 NW. He was just very good about talking to my dad and explaining things. My dad had prostate surgery in January and he was still having trouble urinating. Chris got us multiple urinals so we could keep track of how much he went each time. He also made sure they got emptied and we always had clean ones. One time, my dad couldn't go and the scan showed 500 in his bladder. Chris explained to my dad that if he didn't go in a half hour he would have to catheterize him. My dad didn't want that so he stood up and went 400. Chris would even try running the water to help dad go. I just can't say enough, how good he was and how he always answered our questions. Chris came in and answered our questions one time when my dad wasn't his patient. Before my dad was discharged, Chris made sure to tell us what to look out for. He really cared about my dad, not just while he was at the hospital. Our whole family was impressed by Chris.
