We had a young patient who was in ICU for over 30 days. Mom and Dad had been at the bedside every day. Mom had mentioned to Natalie that her birthday was coming up. Natalie not only got a birthday card for the patient’s mom for all of us to sign for her but also got her a present. She did not want mom to think that her birthday had been forgotten or missed because of the condition of her son. Mom was brought to tears as she thanked Natalie. Natalie told the patient’s mom that she knew if her son was able, he would have made the day very special for her. The look on mom's face demonstrated how much this meant to her. Couldn’t be prouder to work with such a caring, compassionate, and thoughtful nurse. Proud she is on my team.
