Nurse Leo did an amazing job taking care of our little baby girl. He was our first nurse when we were transferred to UM, and he did an amazing job helping to get us settled and keeping her calm as she was very unhappy and hungry when we arrived. He showed incredible attention to detail, and advocated for her, and also our well-being, the entire time we were in the PICU. He was also with us the night she came out of surgery and helped us through all of those extremely tough post-op hours. Leo made us feel like everything was going to be okay. He helped to get our daughter's breathing strong enough to come off of the vent the following day, and also went above and beyond to help make her feel comfortable, and look cute, not just tending to her technical medical needs. He truly did an outstanding job making sure her pain was under control, as well as making sure she was receiving the right care to speed up recovery. I really can't express our family's gratitude strongly enough for the care that Nurse Leo gave to our daughter and our family.
