Our daughter wanted cheesy eggs, and the hospital’s cheese wasn’t cutting it. The next day, Jaime came to work with six servings for her.
Jaime was our daughter’s first inpatient nurse at the beginning of her cancer journey. Because of the chemo, our daughter doesn’t eat much and relies on nasogastric feeds. When she does eat, she’s very particular. One time she wanted cheesy eggs, and the hospital’s cheese wasn’t cutting it. The next day, Jaime came to work with six servings for her. Beyond her kind gestures, she’s a supportive outlet for my husband and me, letting us vent and talk about the hardships of having a child with cancer. Jaime is our daughter’s favorite nurse, and we’re so grateful she’s a part of her treatment.
