I truly believed DJ saved my life that day.
I am a nurse who works on the COVID unit, and got sick with COVID myself in December. During my stay, I got really sick and required a stay in the ICU. Even though I am familiar with COVID and the process of it, going through it myself was one of the scariest experiences of my life. I was blessed to have DJ as my nurse. She held my hand through the scary parts, calmed my fears, talked to my mom when I physically couldn’t, stayed by my side, and made it bearable. I truly believed she saved my life that day. She was by my side up to the point where I was transferred to the ICU. When I returned to Garden West, she was my nurse again and once again such a blessing. Thank you, DJ, for taking such great care of me in my time of need.
