I was having horrible pain post-operative when I arrived in my room. My husband was upset seeing me cry in pain and our first nurse helped calm my husband down. Once my husband calmed down he put on some Christian music for me as he knows that is how to bring me some peace. When Dawn realized we are strong Christians, she asked me if she could pray for me. I, of course, said yes so she took my hand and prayed for me. I know not every nurse is a Christian, however, I have never felt so blessed to have her recognize our faith, pray for God to bring me relief from my pain, and pray for my husband that God would help him through this stressful time. All of the nursing and supportive staff have been wonderful, but I will never forget Dawn. I will never forget this experience with her. She showed higher than extraordinary care.
