My husband's nurse holds a special place in our family's heart. Caitlin Tefend made sure all my husband's needs were met including relaying information to the doctors when I couldn't be there. Upon hearing the bad news about his condition Caitlin took the time to listen, comfort him and even offered him a hug which in return meant a lot to him.

January 15th was my husband's birthday we had a few friends stop by and our children came to see him. Caitlin gathered up a few co-workers who popped in and began to sing Happy Birthday. She was wearing a bedpan for the hat, a horn was left over from New Year's Eve and a couple of gloves were blown up like balloons. It made this one of his better birthdays!

Caitlin would stop to check on him even though he was not her patient to see if he needed anything (usually a hug). Caitlin is the best and we are so happy to have the pleasure of meeting her.
