Without wasting much time, Jolly administered TNK with a prayerful mind, which reversed all the symptoms my husband had after 18 hours.
My husband (59 years old) was admitted secondary to stroke, unable to talk or move. As soon as BAT was initiated, Jolly rushed to the ER, followed him to CT, and then to CT Angio. She updated the neurologist, discussed a treatment plan, and educated the ER nurses in calculating the TNK dose. Without wasting much time, she administered TNK with a prayerful mind, which reversed all the symptoms my husband had after 18 hours. During this time, she reassured the family and checked in on him several times in spite of her busy schedule. As a critical care nurse myself, it was heartbreaking to see my husband tongue-tied and paralyzed. I say this tearfully. She provided coffee and snacks to me so I did not faint. Her reassuring words, sincere attitude, professionalism, and outstanding skills and knowledge are worth mentioning. I thank and praise the entire team, especially for an extraordinary angel named Jolly, whom God provided us to administer TNK at that moment to restore my husband. She is an asset to this institution and a lifesaver for many.
