Angel Nurses!!

Thank you all for you prayers. My dad is doing better tonight. He is along way from completely well, but is doing well tonight.

We've all heard horror stories of doctors and nurses who are rude and crude. I have experienced that myself. Last night there were several good nurses who were wonderful to my dad. One in particular was especially caring. Her name was Michele. Michele was dad's CCU nurse for the evening shift. Dad had not slept or even laid down from Wednesday of last week till last night. Before they had him comfortable enough to lay back, Michele helped my dad by literally holding his head up so that he could sleep. I don't know how long she did this, but it was a long period of time.

Imagine that, holding up his head to sleep. That's compassion! Many times in the health care profession we meet people who treat you like number and show no real love. Nursing is just a job to them. It was refreshing to meet these people who really care for someone that you love so much! Say a special prayer for Michele, Sue, Gwen, and others of whom I didn't get names.

Thank God for angel nurses!

  • Praise God! In the time that I worked with ICU/CCU I found those nurses to be of a special breed. Those nurses are highly trained and have a special gift for special care of their patients. There are fewer patients per nurse so they are able to give that special extra touch better than the floors. I saw nurses come in to the hospital on Christmas when they were supposed to be at home with their families to wish their special patients a Merry Christmas. Your dad is in the right place and will be home again with your family soon. Take care and God Bless!

  • Thanks for the report. Glad dad is better.

    I came in early one morning and caught the head nurse at the local university hospital holding wife's father's hand. No one was around. He was unconscious. But she was taking good care of him.
