A very sick patient was in CCU for 2 weeks. Remy noticed that the patient's son slept in the lounge. She talked to him and found out that he is from another state visiting his mother. Remy bought a folding bed and recliner for her patient's son to use in the visitor's lounge.
She encourages those patients whose been in CCU waiting for transplants who verbalized boredom. Remy brought them materials to use to draw.
