When Eva walked into my husband's room, she asked all the same questions that every nurse asks, but she heard the anxiety in my husband's voice. She talked to him about how important it was for him to have an MRI. He becomes so very claustrophobic in a closed MRI machine, so he told Eva that I could drive him to Mercy South because they have an open MRI machine.

Eva went along with him and let him know that it was an option, but that time was the essence, and he needed it done as soon as possible. She explained how drugs such as Valium could help to relax him, and he agreed to try. We're so happy she did because we found out that he had a stroke. When we found out the results, Eva pointed out all the positives in the report. She won over our trust.

We shared life events and knew that we had met a person who would be dear to us always. Eva brought the discharge papers and explained the importance of the instructions. She made sure we understood them and reassured us that if we had any questions that we could call anytime.  We were only at Anderson Hospital a couple of days but when we left, we felt so close to Eva.

The day after my husband was discharged, we returned to Anderson to get his records. He wanted to see Eva and thank her for all she had done for him. Unfortunately for him, she had the day off. But, Eva, he will be back to thank you for being such a wonderful caregiver!

Thank you, Eva.
