Christy Ay provided extraordinary and compassionate care to my wife, Kayla, during the most challenging seasons of our lives. Kayla was diagnosed and hospitalized with Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a frightening, painful, and rapidly progressing condition that left her nearly paralyzed and fighting to regain control over her body. Avid to overcome this uncertainty, nurse Christy became a beacon of hope and healing. Her clinical expertise was evident from the start, but what made her truly remarkable was how she combined that knowledge with kindness, empathy, and a genuine human connection.

Christy was with us through some of our most vulnerable moments. She anticipated Kayla’s needs before we could express them, and she treated her with a level of dignity and respect that made all the difference in Kayla’s recovery. She didn't just administer care; she became part of our support system and family. Whether offering encouraging words, carefully explaining complex treatments in a way we could understand, or holding Kayla’s hand when she was scared, Christy went far beyond the call of duty.

There were days when Kayla was in excruciating pain or experiencing setbacks, and it was Christy’s calm presence and advocacy that made the difference. She collaborated with the medical team, ensuring medications were delivered on time, and Kayla was as comfortable and informed as possible. Nurse Christy reminded us that healing isn't just physical, it's emotional and spiritual. Her care didn't just help Kayla recover physically; it gave her the strength to face each new day.
