Elizabeth Curylo was the night nurse in the ICU when my daughter arrived there early morning from Wing hospital intubated. When I was able to get back in the room to see my daughter, Lizzy filled me in on everything that happened during transport and upon arrival. My daughter had to have a bronchoscopy and was stabilized. Even during all that, Lizzy managed to do a beautiful braid in her hair. We had this nurse for 3 nights and she was very friendly, compassionate not only to my daughter and learning her care, but also towards me and making sure my needs were met with resting. My daughter and I quickly became comfortable, and we even managed some laughs and smiles during this difficult time. After a week, they finally tried the first attempt to take her off the ventilator. It was not successful. One night we had a different nurse who was very nice. This nurse went to get Lizzy who was with another patient to ask their opinion of my daughter’s decline because she was familiar with her. My daughter was put on the ventilator again. Lizzy was very concerned and checked on me and my needs. Some time went on and we finally had Lizzy again upon request. Again, my daughter was pampered with cleaning and braiding her hair. She knew how to make her comfortable and my daughter enjoyed that time with them. I was overtired and had cold chills. Lizzy sat me down and gave me a blanket and told me to sleep and said “I got this” with caring for my daughter. Nursing is her calling, and she is great at it all while showing compassionate care! After 3 ½ weeks in ICU we did lose our daughter. Lizzy and another co-worker found the obituary and planted a tree in her honor. She will be forever in our hearts.
